Bill > SB2555

This bill allows a court to issue an emergency protection order upon finding that a person poses an imminent risk of harm to themselves or others if allowed to purchase or possess a firearm. It authorizes family members, household members, intimate partners, or law enforcement officers to petition for such an order. The bill outlines the process for obtaining an emergency protection order, including requirements for service, hearings, and potential modifications or termination of the order. It also establishes penalties for violating the order and requires the respondent to dispossess any firearms they possess within 48 hours of the order being issued. The bill also directs the administrative office of the courts to develop necessary forms for implementing these new emergency protection order provisions.
