Protective orders; creating the Oklahoma Extreme Risk Protective Order Act; providing procedures for filing petition for firearms restraining order; repealers; codification; effective date.
HB 1987 creates the Oklahoma Extreme Risk Protective Order Act, allowing family members, intimate partners, or law enforcement to petition a court to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed an immediate danger of causing personal injury with a firearm. The bill establishes procedures for filing emergency orders without prior notice to the respondent in urgent situations, requiring courts to issue such orders if the petition demonstrates an immediate threat. It eliminates filing fees for these petitions and orders, mandates simplified forms for self-filers, and outlines how firearms must be returned after the order ends. The law applies to Oklahomans who are family/household members, intimate partners, or individuals posing a documented firearm-related danger to themselves or others.
