An Act To Enact The Crisis Intervention Order Act To Protect The Safety Of The Public

This bill creates a new legal process called a Crisis Intervention Order to restrict access to dangerous weapons for individuals involved in domestic violence situations. It allows family members, law enforcement agencies, or officers to petition a court for an order that specifically bans the respondent from possessing, controlling, or purchasing firearms and other dangerous weapons. The legislation establishes that violating such an order is a criminal offense and sets specific rules for bail and sentencing related to these violations. Additionally, it formally defines key terms like "dangerous weapon" and "family or household member" to ensure clarity in how these orders are applied.
