Relating to extreme risk protective orders; creating criminal offenses.

HB 893 creates a new legal process for temporarily removing firearms from individuals who pose an immediate risk of harming themselves or others due to serious mental illness. It allows family members, guardians of minors, or prosecutors (acting on behalf of these groups or at a police request) to file for an order if they believe the person has access to firearms and exhibits dangerous behavior linked to their mental health. The application must include specific details about the danger, medical records if available, firearm locations, and a sworn statement confirming the immediate risk. This bill directly affects people with serious mental illness who own or have access to firearms and may be experiencing a crisis, aiming to prevent gun violence through temporary firearm removal.
