Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts a new subchapter creating extreme risk protective orders (red flag/ERPO) that prohibit firearm purchase/possession/control upon a finding of danger, mandate relinquishment of guns and surrender/suspension of LTC, notify DPS and NICS, create a related criminal offense for violation, and add false-report offense; all provisions address the firearms/red-flag-erpo tag with a net restrictive effect on firearm access.
