This bill makes several changes to the Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act in New Mexico. The key provisions are: 1. It allows health care professionals and law enforcement officers, in addition to law enforcement agencies, to request extreme risk firearm protection orders. 2. It provides an expedited process for temporary extreme risk firearm protection orders to be issued at all times, rather than just during regular court hours. 3. It requires immediate relinquishment of firearms upon service of an extreme risk firearm protection order. 4. It allows law enforcement agencies to destroy, sell, or transfer unclaimed firearms that remain in their possession after the expiration of an order. 5. It makes various other conforming amendments to the law, such as clarifying definitions and procedures for issuing and terminating the orders. Overall, the bill aims to expand the ability to obtain extreme risk firearm protection orders and ensure prompt enforcement of the orders to prevent individuals who pose a significant danger from accessing firearms.
