LINK to bill text from Sen. John Cornyn's official webpage.

From a quick reading, the main highlights are:

Federal agencies and state and Indian tribal governments are required to cooperate with the AG and create an Implementation Plan for reporting all records pertinent to NICS to the FBI;
The AG has to prepare and public semiannual reports summarizing what federal agencies have done to comply with NICS;
The AG is required to take affirmative steps to correct erroneous NICS information within 60 days;
Funding is provided to various agencies for compliance efforts.
