SYNOPSIS

The amendment removes Section 2 from House Bill No. 423 which requires the Firearms Transaction Approval Program to conduct the background checks required for applications for a license to carry concealed deadly weapons. As such, all references to those specific background checks and inquiries by the Superior Court for such background checks have been deleted by this amendment. In addition, this amendment conforms the appeal process from a denial by SBI to the appeal process in the Relief from Disabilities Program which is on the record. This amendment also permits the SBI to establish another electronic means for FFLs to make inquiries of the SBI in addition to a toll free number. Finally, this amendment makes some minor technical corrections.
