What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm, and must surrender all firearms, if the person is subject to a domestic abuse injunction, a child abuse injunction, or, in certain cases, a harassment or an individuals-at-risk injunction. If a person surrenders a firearm because the person is subject to one of those injunctions, the firearm may not be returned to the person until a court determines that the injunction has been vacated or has expired and that the person is not otherwise prohibited from possessing a firearm. A person who is prohibited from possessing a firearm under such an injunction is guilty of a Class G felony for a violation of the prohibition.
This bill creates an extreme risk protection temporary restraining order and an extreme risk protection injunction. Upon receiving a petition filed by a law enforcement officer or a family or household member of the respondent, a court shall schedule an injunction hearing. The court also shall issue a temporary restraining order prohibiting the respondent from possessing a firearm and ordering the respondent to surrender all firearms if the court finds reasonable grounds that the respondent is substantially likely to injure the respondent or another person if the respondent possesses a firearm. The temporary restraining order remains in effect until the injunction hearing. At the injunction hearing, the court may grant an extreme risk protection injunction ordering the respondent to refrain from possessing a firearm if the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the respondent is substantially likely to injure the respondent or another person if the respondent possesses a firearm. An extreme risk protection injunction is effective for up to one year and may be renewed. Any person who is subject to an extreme risk protection injunction may petition to vacate the injunction. A person who possesses a firearm while subject to an extreme risk protection temporary restraining order or injunction is guilty of a Class G felony. In addition, a person who files a petition for an extreme risk protection temporary restraining order or injunction, knowing the information in the petition to be false, is guilty of the crime of false swearing, a Class H felony.
