This proposal would stop the federal government from collecting and keeping gun sale records from gun businesses that close. It directs the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to destroy any of these records it already has within 90 days after the law takes effect. It also ends the rule that made closing businesses send their records to the ATF, and requires the ATF to tell Congress how many records were destroyed .

Key points

• Who is affected: Gun businesses that go out of business, and the ATF.
• What changes: ATF must destroy existing out‑of‑business records; closing businesses would no longer have to send their records to ATF; ATF must report how many records were destroyed .
• When: Destruction must happen within 90 days after the law takes effect.
