Requires notification of firearm denials to local law enforcement and the local prosecutor having jurisdiction where the prohibited person sought to acquire the firearm

Summary

The bill amends the state’s firearm background‑check law so that, after a denial is entered into the national system, the state must send the denied person’s name, birth date, description and reason for denial to the local law‑enforcement agency and local prosecutor where the purchase was attempted. Those agencies must start a criminal investigation within five business days. The goal is to speed up local action against illegal firearm attempts.
