Bill > LD2032

This bill amends an existing Maine law related to extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), which are legal orders designed to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who are deemed to pose a significant risk to themselves or others. Specifically, the bill modifies the current requirement for court documentation by mandating that in addition to providing the court with a notification to the restricted person, law enforcement must also provide a copy of the judicial endorsement and all attachments associated with the order. This change appears to enhance the documentation and transparency of the ERPO process by ensuring that the court receives a more comprehensive set of documents related to the protection order. The amendment is being made to section 34-B MRSA §3862-A, which governs the procedures for implementing extreme risk protection orders in the state of Maine.
