TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the executive law, the general business law and the
penal law, in relation to the point of contact for conducting national
instant criminal background checks; and to amend the state finance law,
in relation to the creation of the background check fund

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To make New York a point of contact state for the National Instant Crim-
inal Background Check System.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one amends the executive law to add a new section 228 that
authorizes and directs the state police to serve as the point of contact
for implementation of the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS), and sets forth requirements for implementation including
for appeal.

Section two amends subdivision 2 of section 898 of the general business
law to require gun dealers to contact the state police to conduct a
background check.

Section three amends paragraph (c) of subdivision 1 of section 896 of
the general business law to require coordination with state police to
provide access to NICS checks at gun shows.

Section four amends subdivision 6 of section 400.03 of the penal law to
provide that the state police should be contacted to conduct background
checks for the sale of ammunition, should that requirement take effect.

Section five amends the penal law by adding a new section 400.06 which
provides that all firearms dealers must contact the state police to
conducts a NICS check, and failure to do so is a class A misdemeanor.

Section six adds a new section 99-ff to the state finance law and estab-
lishes a background check fund, which will be in the joint custody of
the state comptroller and commissioner of taxation of finance. Section
seven provides the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Gun violence is tearing apart communities throughout America. We must
take steps to ensure that guns are kept out of the hands of those who
are prohibited from acquiring them. Background checks for gun purchases
in New York are currently completed by contacting the federal government
for a check through the National Instant Criminal Background Check
System (NICS). Putting the New York State Police in charge of background
checks will strengthen the role of law enforcement in this area,
increase accuracy and efficiency, and order to create greater safety for
New Yorkers.

Currently 13 states are full point of contact states and 7 states are
partial point of contact states for NICS background checks, and log the
27,538,673 background checks processed through the NICS in 2016, NICS
Section processed 9,360,833 transactions, and state users processed
18,177,840 transactions.* Thus, states actually process the majority of
NICS checks. When states assume point of contact status for NICS, the
states can assert greater control over the process of completing the
checks.**

The United States Attorney General has recognized that there is a prob-
lem with inaccurate reporting of records.' According to the Giffords Law
Center to Prevent Gun Violence, states are often in a better position to
locate necessary information as well as to encourage increased reporting
of records for a more thorough and accurate check.

In addition, based on conversations with police in other states, it is
clear that New York State Police would have greater access to the infor-
mation about those individuals denied gun purchases if the police were
to process the denials. Law enforcement could then respond to incidents
more quickly, and recognize trends in gun usage more efficiently.****

Making New York a point of contact state for NICS will result in a safer
environment for New Yorkers. The New York State Police is uniquely situ-
ated to coordinate background checks with local police, who are of ten
already conducting background checks for licenses, and managing informa-
tion. Overall, New York will have greater efficiency and access to
information, especially as New York has recently entered into a Gun Pact
with states such as New Jersey and Connecticut, which are both point of
contact states, and Rhode Island, where the state police conducts its
own background check for each purchase of a firearm. Becoming a point of
contact state will allow New York to increase control, accuracy, effi-
ciency of background checks on firearm purchases, in order to improve
safety from gun violence.
