HB 2161 amends the Government Code to enhance firearm reporting requirements for persons recently released from emergency detention under the Health and Safety Code. It mandates that facilities provide specific information to the Texas Department of Public Safety, which will relay it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. The bill also ensures individuals are notified of their firearm-related restrictions and establishes confidentiality provisions for the collected data.
