                                 A BILL


 
 To ensure that the national instant criminal background check system 
   provides the Federal Bureau of Investigation with information on 
 approved firearms transfers to persons named in the Violent Gang and 
                      Terrorist Organization File.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FBI ACCESS TO NICS INFORMATION ON APPROVED FIREARMS 
              TRANSFERS TO PERSONS NAMED IN THE VIOLENT GANG AND 
              TERRORIST ORGANIZATION FILE.

    Section 103 of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (18 U.S.C. 
922 note) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Attorney 
General shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure 
that, if the system established under this section is contacted by a 
licensee for information on whether receipt of a firearm by an 
individual whose name appears in the Violent Gang and Terrorist 
Organization File maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation 
would violate subsection (g) or (n) of section 922 of title 18, United 
States Code, or State law, and the information available to the system 
does not demonstrate that the receipt would be such a violation, the 
system shall preserve all records of the system with respect to the 
individual and the prospective transaction until the system has 
provided the records to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.''.
