Domestic Violence SAFE Notice Act

This bill would require the FBI to set up a system that alerts registered victims of certain crimes, including domestic violence, stalking, and sex trafficking, when the offender tries to buy a firearm and fails a federal background check. Victims would also be notified if a firearm was transferred before the check finished, if it is later retrieved, if the offender is arrested, if the denial is reversed, or if the offender is pardoned or has gun rights restored. Victims could register or deregister at any time, and their information could only be used for these notices. The bill would also create a grant pilot program, with $10 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, to help states and Tribes upgrade their own victim notification systems to send similar alerts.
