Bill > A00493

This bill amends the civil practice law and rules to allow a supreme court judge who is reviewing an extreme risk protection order (ERPO) to simultaneously consider and potentially issue other types of orders of protection during the same court proceeding. Specifically, while hearing an ERPO petition, the judge can also evaluate and potentially grant protective orders under three different legal frameworks: the criminal procedure law, the domestic relations law, and the family court act. An extreme risk protection order is a legal mechanism designed to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others. By enabling a judge to handle multiple protective order requests in a single proceeding, the bill aims to streamline the legal process and provide more comprehensive protection for individuals seeking legal safeguards against potential harm. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
