South Dakota will now require prosecutors to report mental health records to the FBI's background check system within two hours (instead of seven days) when someone is found not guilty by reason of insanity or deemed incompetent to stand trial, allowing the system to flag these individuals as prohibited from purchasing firearms. The bill also establishes a process for removing this information from the national database once certain legal conditions are met. These reports will contain only identifying information, not medical details about diagnosis or treatment.
