8.  Which of the following best describes the process by which mental health records are included in NICS?

While the federal government does not have authority to require states to adopt a standardized reporting procedure, all 50 states have agreed to be part of the "Mental Health & Gun Violence Prevention Pact," which means they have all adopted the same standards of reporting to NICS.

If someone is diagnosed with a particular mental illness, their name and information must be immediately uploaded into the national NICS system under the penalty of a federal felony.

The federal government incentivizes (but can not require) states to report mental health data to NICS; states themselves vary in terms of whether they authorize versus require mental health professionals to report, whether they report to state versus federal databases, and the required timeline in reporting.

It is entirely up to the discretion of mental health professionals whether to report mental health-related issues to the authorities, whether state or federal.
