voluntary prohibited possessor; definition

HB 2291 creates a voluntary process allowing individuals to restrict their own firearm access. It enables people to submit a court form (via law enforcement or a healthcare provider) to be added to a "voluntary prohibited possessor list," which bars them from purchasing or possessing firearms for 180 days. After this period, individuals may request removal from the list or voluntarily extend the restriction. The bill does not apply to existing prohibited categories (like felons or undocumented aliens) but establishes a new option for self-imposed firearm restrictions. This is a procedural change focused on individual choice, not a broad policy shift in firearm laws.
