HB 6134 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Civil procedure: personal protection orders; removal of firearms; require for an individual subject to a domestic relations PPO. Amends sec. 2950 of 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.2950) & adds secs. 2950p, 2950q, 2950r, 2950s, 2950t, 2950u, 2950v & 2950w.

HB 6134 amends Michigan law to strengthen personal protection orders by explicitly requiring the removal of firearms from individuals subject to domestic relations orders. The bill mandates that courts issue orders prohibiting respondents from possessing or purchasing guns if they are found to have committed acts of domestic violence or abuse against a spouse, former spouse, dating partner, or household member. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that the absence of a police report, medical documentation, or physical evidence of abuse should not prevent a judge from granting a protection order. These changes aim to provide clearer legal mechanisms for victims to secure their safety and ensure law enforcement has immediate access to information about firearm restrictions.
