## Summary

**This bill would end the federal collection and retention of firearm transaction records from businesses that close, and require destruction of records already held.** It targets the rules that govern what out-of-business federal firearms licensees must do with transaction records and how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives handles those records going forward. - Out-of-business federal firearms licensees: They would no longer be required to deliver firearm transaction records from closed businesses to the ATF. - Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF): The ATF Director would be required to destroy records the agency collected that relate to closed dealers and eliminate statutory retention provisions. The bill sets a 90-day deadline for that destruction after enactment. - Congress and oversight: The ATF Director must send Congress a written report that counts how many records were destroyed, creating a post-destruction accounting.
