Bill > HF3658

This bill modifies the processes for applying for, securing, and enforcing extreme risk protection orders, which are court orders designed to temporarily prevent individuals who pose a significant danger of bodily harm to themselves or others from possessing firearms. Key changes include expanding who can petition for an order to include law enforcement agencies and city or county attorney's offices, allowing respondents to petition on their own behalf, and clarifying that mental health professionals should report threats or risks of suicide by firearm to the relevant law enforcement agency. The bill also refines procedures for serving orders, including provisions for electronic or mail service in certain circumstances, and allows for longer extensions of extreme risk protection orders, up to five years, if specific criteria are met, such as prior violations of such orders. Additionally, it clarifies the responsibilities of law enforcement and firearms dealers in the transfer and storage of firearms subject to these orders, and provides immunity for good-faith actions taken by law enforcement officers and mental health professionals in relation to these orders.
