Prohibits accepting federal grant funds for implementation, service, or enforcement of federal extreme risk protective orders, reinforcing limits on red-flag measures.
An entity described by Article 7C.002(a) may not accept federal grant funds for the implementation, service, or enforcement of a federal statute, order, rule, or regulation purporting to implement or enforce an extreme risk protective order against a person in this state.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill is titled the "Anti-Red Flag Act" and substantively prohibits recognition, service, and enforcement of extreme risk protective orders (red-flag ERPOs), creates a state jail felony for attempting to enforce them (unless issued under Texas law), preempts local rules on the topic, declares certain federal orders unenforceable, and bars related federal grants. This expands the axis of firearm ownership and carry by limiting red-flag restrictions. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
