MODERATE

This bill amends the state's extreme risk protection order (ERPO) laws to clarify who can file for an order, when law enforcement can choose not to file, and how the forms are completed. It expands the list of eligible petitioners to include more school staff and clarifies that police officers have discretion to decline filing if the respondent is a minor acting only toward themselves with no access to firearms.

Scope change

The bill modifies the scope of who can petition for an ERPO and the specific conditions under which law enforcement may opt out of filing.

ELIGIBILITY

Updated the definition of 'Petitioner' to explicitly include school teachers, counselors, and other licensed school personnel as authorized individuals who can file petitions.

Added a new exception allowing police officers and prosecutors to decline filing an application if the respondent is under 18, the threat is self-directed only, no physical force was used against others or schools, and no firearms are present in the household.

DEFINITION

Clarified the definition of 'Respondent' to specify that the person must be at least 12 years old.

REQUIREMENT

Revised the application form requirements to allow for affirmation instead of requiring a sworn statement in certain contexts.
