The bill would bar the Department of Veterans Affairs from sending a veteran's or other beneficiary's identifying information to the national background check system that licensed gun dealers use solely because the VA assigned a fiduciary to manage the person's benefits, unless a judge or other judicial authority has found the person to be a danger to themselves or others.^2,3,4 Within 30 days of the bill becoming law, the VA would have to notify the Attorney General that the grounds for records it has sent on that basis since November 1993 no longer apply.⁴ The VA also could not treat someone as having been formally judged mentally defective solely because the VA found the person mentally incompetent or in need of a fiduciary.⁴
