Extreme Risk Protection Order Expansion Act of 2023
This bill creates a federal grant program to help states and tribes implement Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), which allow courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others. To qualify for funding, states must have laws including due process protections like hearings before orders are issued. The bill also amends federal law to include ERPOs in background checks and requires states to notify federal databases about these orders. It ensures ERPOs issued in one state will be recognized by courts in other states. This would directly affect individuals subject to ERPOs, law enforcement officers, and courts that implement these orders.
