Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a time-limited pilot program in four counties allowing district attorneys to petition for gun violence restraining orders (red-flag ERPOs), which restrict firearm possession for those deemed a danger; this expands the set of eligible petitioners beyond existing law (law enforcement, family, etc.), making such restrictions more likely to be imposed. Reporting and evaluation requirements are neutral as they do not alter access to or restrictions on firearms.
