Joint Order, To Require The Legislative Council To Hold A Public Hearing On The Initiated Bill Enacting The Extreme Risk Protection Order Act

This bill (HP 1333) requires the Maine Legislative Council to hold a public hearing on L.D. 1378, a bill proposing Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) that would temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed to pose a high risk of harming themselves or others. The hearing must occur before the First Special Session of the 132nd Legislature ends. This procedural order ensures public input on the ERPO bill before legislative action.
