Bill > HB2282

This bill establishes new procedures for "education protection orders" to prevent individuals who pose an immediate danger of serious physical injury or death at educational institutions from possessing firearms. It allows for the issuance of emergency protection orders by judges or other court officials, even by telephone when courts are closed, if there's evidence of a present danger. These orders can prohibit individuals from possessing firearms and require the surrender of any firearms. The bill also creates a process for obtaining a full education protection order after a hearing, which can last up to a year and be renewed, and allows for search warrants for firearms if probable cause exists. It expands the definition of a "prohibited possessor" to include individuals subject to these education protection orders and clarifies that appeals can be made regarding the granting or denial of these orders. The bill also makes changes to juvenile court jurisdiction to include these new protection orders when the defendant is under eighteen years old and ensures that records related to these orders are handled appropriately.
