The Bipartisan Safer Community Act (BSCA) became law in June 2022 with the aim of preventing firearms from getting into the hands of individuals who pose a potential threat to themselves or others.
One aspect of the BSCA focuses on individuals aged 18 to 20 who might be restricted from purchasing firearms if they have disqualifying juvenile adjudications or mental health records. The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) collaborates with state and local authorities to enforce this provision.
We invite state courts to join us for an insightful webinar to hear from the FBI about their processes for accessing juvenile data for NICS and from SEARCH on how to access technical assistance.
