(a) It is the intention of this part to establish state regulations which are consistent with the policy and terms of the federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act by providing a state background check law.

(b) This part shall in all respects be construed and administered in conformity with the provisions of the federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is specifically intended that this part shall constitute a state law requiring verification by a state official that information available does not indicate that possession of a handgun by a proposed transferee would be in violation of law, as authorized under 18 U.S.C. Section 922(s)(1)(D).
