HR 9053 United States House · 118th Congress

Veterans 2nd Amendment Restoration Act of 2024

HR 9053, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Restoration Act of 2024, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to notify the Attorney General within 30 days of enactment that it improperly sent certain veterans' personal information to the national background check system. This applies to veterans whose benefits were managed by a fiduciary (under 38 U.S.C. §5502) but who were not legally adjudicated as "mental defectives" under 18 U.S.C. §922(g). The bill corrects a procedural error where the VA transmitted this information to the FBI's background check system without legal basis. It directly affects veterans wrongly flagged due to this data transmission error, aiming to remove them from the system's records.
