Abstract: NICS Improvement Act sought to address gap in information
from states about mental health adjudications/commitments prohibiting
purchase of firearms. It authorizes grants for states to improve
quality and completeness of records available to NICS, but to qualify
for a grant, a state official must certify to ATF that the state has
implemented a qualifying program permitting persons adjudicated as a
mental defective, or committed to an institution to apply for relief
from that firearms disability.
