LD 2032 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Amend The Extreme Risk Protection Order Procedure

This bill (LD 2032) is a procedural amendment adding an emergency preamble and emergency clause to an existing Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) bill. It does not change ERPO procedures but allows the bill to take effect immediately upon approval instead of waiting 90 days after legislative adjournment. The emergency justification cites increased petition filings for ERPOs and the need to meet statutory hearing deadlines for affected individuals. The amendment solely addresses the bill's implementation timeline, not the substance of ERPO processes.
