Statement of Administration Policy: H.R. 1025 - Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act

(House Rules)
(Schumer (D) New York and 155 others)

The Administration strongly supports H.R. 1025.

H.R. 1025 represents a vital first step in reducing the terrible toll of gun-related violence in our Nation. This legislation requiring a waiting period and background check before the purchase of a handgun is simply common sense. It is long past time that the Congress passed it.

Pay-As-You-Go Scoring

H.R. 1025 would increase receipts; therefore, it is subject to the pay-as-you-go requirements of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1990. OMB's preliminary scoring estimate of this bill are presented below. Final scoring of this legislation may deviate from these estimates.
