(a) Study.—The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a study on the feasibility of establishing a database of military protective orders issued by military commanders against individuals suspected of having committed an offense of domestic violence under section 928b of title 10, United States Code (article 128b of the Uniform Code of Military Justice). The study shall include an examination of each of the following: (1) The feasibility of creating a database to record, track, and report such military protective orders to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

(3) How the database and process described in paragraphs (1) and (2), respectively, may differ from analogous civilian databases and processes, including with regard to due process and other procedural protections.
