Weapons: licensing; application for relief from federal firearms disability program; provide for. Amends 1961 PA 236 (MCL 600.101 - 600.9947) by adding sec. 2908.

HB 4587 creates a court process for Michiganders with certain court-ordered mental health commitments or adjudications (triggering federal firearm restrictions under 18 U.S.C. 922(d)(4)/(g)(4)) to seek relief from firearm disabilities. It requires courts to forward only necessary identifying information to state police for background checks and allows affected individuals to petition courts for relief after meeting specific criteria, including demonstrating they no longer pose a public safety risk. Courts must review petitions confidentially using evidence on the petitioner's mental health, criminal history, reputation, and changed circumstances. If approved, the state police must remove the disability from background check systems within 10 business days. This bill directly affects people barred from firearm purchases due to Michigan court decisions.
