Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act prohibits the VA from sharing beneficiary information with the DOJ for background checks.

The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act amends title 38, United States Code, to prevent the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from transmitting personally identifiable information of beneficiaries to the Department of Justice for use by the national instant criminal background check system. This prohibition applies unless a judge, magistrate, or other judicial authority orders or finds that the beneficiary is a danger to themselves or others. The act aims to protect veterans' privacy and rights under the Second Amendment.
