SUMMARY

This bill requires that a national instant criminal background check be performed prior to the sale or transfer of a firearm at a gun show. The bill makes a gun show operator responsible for any failure to perform a required background check and subject to a fine of up to $10,000 for each such failure. The bill also requires gun show operators to post signs at gun shows to notify exhibitors of the background check requirement and requires gun show operators to provide unlicensed sellers and transferors with access to licensed sellers and transferors who will undertake the required background checks.
