Establishes extreme risk protection orders and gun violence seizure warrants and prohibits certain persons involved in domestic violence from possessing a firearm
This bill establishes a legal process called extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) that allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a significant danger to themselves or others. Under the new law, a judge can issue an order prohibiting a person from owning or buying guns for up to one year if there is probable cause that they pose such a risk, based on factors like past violence, weapon offenses, or substance abuse. The bill also creates firearm seizure warrants that direct law enforcement to take guns from the respondent and mandates a court hearing within fourteen days to decide if the order should remain in effect. Additionally, the legislation prohibits people currently serving protective orders related to domestic violence from possessing firearms and requires law enforcement to temporarily seize weapons visible during incidents involving threats or assaults.
