Bill > SF1117

This bill enables law enforcement and family members to petition a court to prohibit people from possessing firearms if they pose a significant danger to themselves or others by possessing a firearm. The bill creates a new "extreme risk protection order" process, which allows the court to prohibit someone from possessing firearms for up to one year if they are found to pose a significant danger. The bill also requires the transfer of firearms to law enforcement or a federally licensed firearms dealer when an extreme risk protection order is issued, provides for the return of firearms when an order expires, and establishes criminal penalties for violations of the order or providing false information in a petition. The bill appropriates $250,000 in each of fiscal years 2024 and 2025 to reimburse law enforcement agencies for costs related to the new extreme risk protection order process.
