Relating to mental health examination requirements.

HB 3483 creates a process for individuals prohibited from owning firearms due to a mental health condition to petition a court to regain that right. To apply, petitioners must submit a recent mental health evaluation (within 30 days) from a licensed professional, details of past treatment, and authorize release of their mental health records. The court must consider the person’s mental health history, criminal record, character evidence, and whether they pose a public safety risk before deciding. All documents filed remain confidential except for the court, prosecutor, and petitioner, and any court order restoring firearm rights must be reported to state law enforcement.
