In this section, the term covered pretrial release order means an order of a State, Tribal, or local court that governs the release of an arrested individual pending the trial of the individual for a crime, and which prohibits the individual from possessing a firearm or ammunition (as such terms are defined in section 921 of title 18, United States Code). The Attorney General may make grants to States and Indian Tribes for the purpose of reporting information about covered pretrial release orders to the national instant criminal background check system established under section 103 of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act ( 34 U.S.C. 40901 ).
The chief executive of a State or Indian Tribe seeking a grant under this section shall submit to the Attorney General an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Attorney General may reasonably require. Grants made under this section shall be in addition to any amount that a State or Indian Tribe receives under section 302(c)(19) of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 ( 34 U.S.C. 10132(c)(19) ) (commonly referred to as the National Criminal History Improvement Program ) or section 103 of the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 ( 34 U.S.C. 40913 ) (commonly referred to as the NICS Act Record Improvement Program ).
There is authorized to be appropriated $25,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to carry out this section.
