Amendment to HB 1339-FN
Amend RSA 159-D:4, II(b) as inserted by section 1 of the bill by replacing it with the following:
(b) The department of safety shall initiate a NICS check and shall provide a conclusive response to the court within 10 business days of receiving the court’s request stating either “proceed” or “deny.” A “deny” response shall only be provided if the NICS check depicts that the individual is clearly prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to state or federal law. If the NICS check is inconclusive and the department of safety cannot explicitly demonstrate that the individual is prohibited from possessing a firearm within 10 business days of the court’s request, the department of safety shall provide a “proceed” response to the requesting court.
