Alaska HB89 establishes gun violence protective orders to prevent individuals deemed dangerous from possessing firearms.

Alaska HB89 amends state law to allow peace officers or household members to petition for protective orders against individuals who are deemed a danger to themselves or others by possessing firearms. The court can issue ex parte or emergency protective orders without notice to the respondent if immediate action is required. These orders prohibit the respondent from possessing, owning, purchasing, or receiving firearms or ammunition. The bill also mandates that respondents surrender their firearms and ammunition to law enforcement within 24 hours of receiving the order.
