Specifies that federal judges, off-duty police officers, and qualified retired officers are not subject to federal gun restrictions in school zones (Secs. 103 & 104).
Requires federal agencies to annually report their compliance with the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) (Sec 202).
Requires the Attorney General to report to congress within 180 days the number of instances bump stocks are used in a crime, whether existing firearms penalties apply to the use of bump stocks, and the type of firearms with which bump stocks can be used (Sec. 206).
Requires the Attorney General to notify NICS and law enforcement when a prohibited individual received a firearm in error (Sec. 205).
Establishes penalties for federal agencies that fail to verify compliance with the record submission requirements specified in this bill (Sec. 202).
