Relates to extreme risk protection orders
This bill updates the list of individuals and organizations authorized to request an extreme risk protection order, a legal tool used to temporarily remove firearms from people deemed a danger to themselves or others. It expands eligibility to include school administrators and their designated staff, such as teachers and counselors, as well as various mental health and medical professionals who have treated the subject within the last six months. Additionally, the law requires that applications filed by law enforcement agencies include specific details about any firearms the respondent owns or has access to. These changes aim to broaden who can initiate these protective orders while maintaining the existing requirement that applications be filed in the county where the respondent lives.
