Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act ensures background checks deny firearms to those under pretrial release orders.
The Preventing Pretrial Gun Purchases Act amends the Gun Control Act of 1968 and other statutes to ensure that the background check system denies firearms to individuals under pretrial release orders. It defines "covered pretrial release order" as a court order prohibiting firearm possession pending trial. The Attorney General can grant funds to states and tribes for reporting these orders to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The act authorizes $25 million annually from 2026 to 2030 for this purpose.
