Fair Legal Access Grants Act provides grants to states and tribes for legal resources for extreme risk protection order petitioners.
The Fair Legal Access Grants Act amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to award grants to states, local governments, and tribal governments for providing legal representation and resources to petitioners seeking extreme risk protection orders. These grants can be used to ensure petitioners have access to counsel, interpretation and translation services, and to establish legal resources centers. The act also prohibits federal courts from exercising jurisdiction over certain causes of action related to extreme risk protection orders.
