Adds evidence of recent aggravated cruelty to animals as a factor courts must consider when deciding whether to issue a temporary extreme risk protection order, making it easier to obtain such orders that remove firearms from at-risk individuals.
(h) evidence of recent acts of aggravated cruelty to animals as defined in section three hundred fifty-three-a of the agriculture and markets law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends CPLR 6342(2) to expand the factors a court must consider for a temporary extreme risk protection order (red-flag ERPO) by adding evidence of recent acts of aggravated cruelty to animals. This broadens the grounds for issuing such orders, which temporarily restrict a person's access to firearms.
