Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a criminal penalty (class E felony) for knowingly filing a false extreme-risk-protection-order application. This neither expands nor restricts the underlying ability to obtain or the effect of genuine ERPOs; it is a deterrent against abuse of the process and is therefore classified neutral on the firearms/red-flag-erpo axis.
