S 119 — A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to discontinue the collection by the Federal Government of firearm transaction records of discontinued firearms businesses, to require the destruction of such already collected records, and for other purposes.

Summary

This bill requires the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to destroy all firearm transaction records that have been collected from firearms businesses that have gone out of business within 90 days of enactment. The bill amends federal law to discontinue the federal government's collection of firearm transaction records from discontinued firearms businesses going forward. The ATF Director must submit a written report to Congress documenting the number of firearm transaction records that were destroyed under this provision. The bill effectively ends a federal record-keeping requirement that previously mandated firearms dealers to deliver transaction records to the government when closing their business.
