S 8589 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to extreme risk protection orders

This bill defines who is eligible to request an extreme risk protection order, which temporarily removes firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. It allows law enforcement, family members, school administrators and their designated staff, and licensed mental health professionals to file these petitions if they have credible information about a potential threat. The legislation also mandates that the application forms used for these requests must specifically ask about the respondent's access to firearms and require details on any weapons they own or possess. By clarifying these roles and requirements, the bill streamlines the process for authorized parties to seek emergency gun restrictions.
