Bill > S292

This bill, the Extreme Risk Protection Order and Violence Prevention Act of 2021, would provide family members or law enforcement with new tools to petition a court for an "extreme risk protection order" to temporarily prohibit an individual from possessing firearms if the court finds the individual poses a significant danger of causing personal injury to themselves or others. The bill sets forth minimum requirements for states and tribes to enact qualifying legislation, including procedures for obtaining these orders, requirements for the surrender of firearms and ammunition, and limitations on the law's application. The bill also authorizes grant funding to assist states and tribes in implementing these laws and makes it a federal crime for certain individuals subject to these orders to possess firearms.
