AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to expand protections for victims of domestic violence and stalking by preventing their abusers from possessing or receiving firearms. It does this by broadening the definitions of "intimate partner" and "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" to include dating partners, and by expanding the list of people who are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms to include those subject to certain restraining or protective orders, as well as those convicted of misdemeanor stalking crimes. The bill also includes provisions to ensure that ex parte protective orders provide adequate notice and opportunity for the respondent to be heard.
