Creates a process for family, household members, or peace officers to seek court-issued extreme risk protective orders that prohibit a respondent from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling firearms based on a finding of immediate danger, requires relinquishment of firearms and suspension of
the court, without further notice to the respondent and without a hearing, may issue a temporary ex parte order prohibiting the respondent from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling a firearm.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts a new subchapter creating extreme risk protective orders (red flag/ERPO) that bar respondents from firearms access upon a court finding of danger, mandates temporary and final orders to relinquish guns and surrender/suspend LTCs, requires reporting to DPS and NICS, adds a criminal offense for violating such an order, and makes related changes to license suspension rules; all provisions substantively address only the firearms/red-flag-erpo topic and restrict the axis by adding a new mechanism to remove firearm access from at-risk persons.
