require that certain mental health information be submitted to and subsequently removed from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

HB 1114 requires South Dakota to submit specific mental health information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) for three groups: individuals acquitted by reason of insanity, those found incompetent to stand trial, and people involuntarily committed as dangers to self or others. The bill mandates that this information be transmitted to NICS within one business day but automatically removed after 18 months. It also requires notifying the affected person or their guardian about both the submission and removal. The law prohibits including diagnosis or treatment details in the reports, focusing solely on identifying information.
