SB1206

SB1206 amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act to redefine "family member" and "respondent" and to protect the identity of law enforcement officers.

SB1206 amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act by redefining "family member" to include a spouse, former spouse, a person with whom the respondent has a minor child, or a person who shares a common dwelling with the respondent. It also redefines "respondent" as the person alleged to pose a danger of causing personal injury by possessing firearms or firearm parts. The bill ensures that if a law enforcement officer files a petition, the officer's identity is protected by referring to the law enforcement agency instead of the individual officer on public indexes.
