A bill for an act relating to the sharing of identifying information of persons prohibited from acquiring a pistol or revolver by court order.

This bill repeals Iowa Code section 724.31A, which required district court clerks to forward to the Department of Public Safety the identifying information of individuals prohibited from purchasing handguns by court order. The repeal removes the existing process for sharing this information with the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It directly affects court clerks, the Department of Public Safety, and the federal background check system by eliminating a mandatory reporting requirement. The bill does not create new restrictions or change who is prohibited from purchasing firearms.
