↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Gives police and prosecutors discretion not to seek ERPOs when there is no firearm nexus or when the respondent is already barred from possessing firearms, so fewer ERPOs are sought and issued.
police officers and district attorneys shall not be required to file an application for an extreme risk protection order when: (a) there is no nexus to a firearm for the respondent; or (b) there is already an existing order, charge, or condition ... which bars the respondent from owning, possessing, or purchasing a firearm
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses extreme risk protection orders (red-flag ERPOs), a firearms topic. It expands the axis by granting discretion to officers and DAs not to file ERPO applications in cases without a firearm nexus or where the respondent is already prohibited from possessing firearms (reducing use of ERPOs). It also restricts the axis by mandating legal representation for law enforcement applicants, facilitating more ERPO filings. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
