A communication from the Executive Office of the Trial Court (see Section 131Y of Chapter 140 of the General Laws) submitting the Extreme Risk Protective Orders (ERPO) report for calendar year 2024

HD 4376 is a procedural bill that transmits the annual report on Extreme Risk Protective Orders (ERPOs) for calendar year 2024 from the Executive Office of the Trial Court to the legislature. It does not create new law but formally submits the required statistics on ERPO filings and outcomes, as mandated under Section 131Y of Chapter 140 of the General Laws. The bill directly affects the legislative process by providing lawmakers with the court's annual data on ERPO usage, which includes metrics like the number of orders filed each year (e.g., 24 in 2024 per the attached tables). This submission is part of routine compliance with state reporting requirements for court programs.
