Expands firearm restrictions to protect domestic violence victims by preventing abusers from possessing firearms.
The Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act aims to protect victims of domestic violence by preventing their abusers from possessing or receiving firearms. The bill expands the definition of "intimate partner" and "misdemeanor crime of domestic violence" to include dating partners and former dating partners. It requires courts to issue firearm surrender orders when issuing domestic violence protection orders. The bill also establishes a grant program to assist law enforcement agencies and courts in implementing these policies.
