Establishes procedures for petitioning for and issuing risk protection orders

This bill establishes a legal process for law enforcement officers and agencies to request court orders that temporarily remove firearms and ammunition from individuals deemed to pose a significant danger to themselves or others. The procedure allows police to file a petition without requiring legal representation or bond, while also prohibiting the court from charging filing fees or awarding attorney's fees in these cases. Upon receiving a petition, the court must hold a hearing within fourteen days to determine if there is clear and convincing evidence of danger, considering factors such as recent threats, history of violence, mental health issues, and prior convictions. If the court finds the individual dangerous, it can issue an order lasting up to twelve months that requires the surrender of all guns and may mandate mental health or chemical dependency evaluations.
