Bill > SB110

This bill creates a new subchapter in the Code of Criminal Procedure to establish a procedure for obtaining an "extreme risk protective order." This order would allow a court to temporarily prohibit a person from purchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling firearms if the court finds the person poses an immediate and present danger of causing injury or death as a result of a serious mental illness and access to firearms. The bill also creates a new criminal offense for making a false report to a prosecutor or police officer related to a request for an extreme risk protective order. Additionally, the bill amends the Penal Code to prohibit the sale of firearms to a person subject to an extreme risk protective order.
