An Act reducing red flag reporters

HD 3593 amends a law to narrow who can file for temporary firearm removal orders (red flag orders) by removing two specific eligibility criteria from the petition process. The bill deletes subsections (iv) and (v) in the "Petitioner" definition under Section 121 of Chapter 135. This change directly affects individuals seeking to initiate red flag proceedings against others. The law now restricts the pool of people allowed to file such petitions.
