SF 2122 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the creation of an extreme risk protective order against a person in possession of a firearm who presents a significant danger to the person’s self or others, and providing penalties.

This bill creates "extreme risk protective orders" allowing family members, intimate partners, or police to petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals posing an immediate danger to themselves or others. Petitions require specific evidence of danger (supported by an affidavit) and must detail the firearms involved, with all filing fees waived. Law enforcement can serve these orders during routine stops using a simplified "short-form notification" process, requiring immediate firearm surrender. The order is temporary and requires a court hearing within a short timeframe to determine its continuation.
