What this bill would do

The Firearm Due Process Protection Act of 2025 aims to enforce the requirement that the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) completes requests to correct its records within 60 days. The bill establishes procedural rules for legal actions brought by those aggrieved by NICS violations. It requires courts to hold expedited hearings within 30 days of an action being brought. Additionally, the bill shifts the burden of proof to the respondent to prove an individual's ineligibility. The legislation also mandates annual reports to Congress regarding the processing of these challenges.
