What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Domestic violence protection orders

Under federal law, a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm if the person

is subject to a court order that restrains the person from harassing, stalking, or

threatening an intimate partner or the partner's child and that contains a finding

that the person represents a credible threat to the safety of the partner or child or

an explicit term that prohibits the person from using, attempting to use, or

threatening to use physical force against the partner or child.

Under this bill, if a person is released on bail or bond and the court issues such

an order, the clerk of court must send a copy of the order to the appropriate sheriff

within one business day of the person's release. The sheriff must then enter the court

order into the information system so that law enforcement has access to the order

similar to how law enforcement has access to other orders for domestic violence,

harassment, or child abuse that prohibit a person from possessing a firearm.
