Both the Firearm Purchase Program (FPP) and the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) are designed to comply with the requirements set forth by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993. This involves conducting background checks on individuals intending to acquire firearms from Federal Firearm Licensees (FFLs), commonly known as licensed gun dealers.
In Florida, the FPP functions as the primary interface for conducting these background checks when transactions involve FFLs. There's a single exception to this, which applies to pawnbrokers. If they're conducting a background check for a pawn redemption that occurs within a 90-day window from the date of pawn, they may opt to use the FBI's NICS system instead.
What sets the FPP apart is that it not only checks federal databases like the FBI's NICS does but also state-level databases. As a result, the outcome of the background checks performed by the FPP may differ from those carried out solely through the FBI's system.
