House Bill 12-1048: Concerning Relieving the Colorado Bureau of
Investigation of its Statutory Duties as a Point of Contact for the National
Instant Criminal Background Check System in Cases of Firearm Transfers (GOOD)
by Representative Waller.
Current federal law requires a licensed transferor of firearms to complete a
background check of a prospective transferee through the national instant
criminal background check system before transferring a firearm to him or her.
Current state law requires the Colorado bureau of investigation (CBI) to
perform such background checks as a point of contact for the federal bureau of
investigation. The bill eliminates this requirement of the CBI and makes
conforming amendments as necessary.
