SF 784 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Judicially ordered firearms restrictions for abusing parties enforcement provision

SF 784 requires courts to automatically prohibit abusive parties in domestic child abuse cases from possessing firearms when an order of protection includes specific findings about credible threats to a child's safety. It mandates that abusive parties transfer all firearms to a federally licensed dealer, law enforcement, or a legally permitted third party within three business days. The bill specifies that temporary transfers allow the firearm to be returned after the protective order expires (if the person is no longer prohibited from owning firearms), while permanent transfers involve surrendering firearms without compensation. This applies directly to individuals found by a court to pose a credible threat to children in domestic abuse cases, as defined under Minnesota law.
