AI Summary
This bill, the "Anti-Red Flag - Second Amendment Conservation Act," seeks to prohibit the enforcement of federal and other extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) in the state of Georgia. It defines an ERPO as an order that prohibits an individual from possessing firearms or requires the removal of firearms from an individual, with the primary purpose of reducing firearm-related deaths or injuries. The bill preempts the entire field of legislation in Georgia related to ERPOs, declaring any federal or state law, order, or judicial finding that would enforce an ERPO against a Georgia citizen as null, void, and unenforceable. The bill also makes it a felony for an individual, including a law enforcement officer, to attempt to enforce an ERPO on a Georgia citizen, punishable by imprisonment or a fine.
