Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit funding for the implementation and enforcement of Federal red flag orders.

AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Preventing Unjust Red Flag Laws Act of 2025," aims to prohibit federal funding for red flag laws, which are temporary protective orders that allow the removal of firearms from individuals deemed to be a potential risk, without what the bill describes as full due process. Specifically, the bill would block any federal department or agency from using funds to implement or enforce federal red flag laws, and would also prevent federal funds from being used to assist state, local, tribal, or territorial governments in implementing or enforcing such laws. The bill defines a red flag law as a risk-based, temporary, and preemptive protective order that authorizes firearm removal without what it characterizes as proper due process protections. By restricting funding, the bill seeks to limit the application of red flag laws at both the federal and local levels, effectively creating a financial barrier to their implementation.
