AB824 Protective orders: firearms and ammunition.

Direction

Firearms red flag erpoAI label

Restricts gun access model confidence 90%

Extends existing firearm and ammunition relinquishment requirements and prohibitions to additional types of protective orders (civil harassment, workplace violence, postsecondary), so more people are subject to losing access to guns and ammo upon issuance of such orders.

A person subject to a protective order issued under this section shall not own, possess, purchase, receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm or ammunition while the protective order is in effect.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses only the firearms topic via red-flag-erpo subtag (gun violence restraining orders and firearm prohibitions tied to other protective orders). It expands restrictions by requiring relinquishment and prohibiting possession of firearms and ammunition under more order types, adding ammo to peace officer seizure duties, and mandating compliance certification. It also adds a narrow exemption process for certain workers, creating a mixed direction overall for the subtag. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
