SB1158

Missouri SB1158 creates provisions for extreme risk protection orders to prevent firearm violence.

Missouri SB1158, known as the "Firearm Violence Prevention Act," establishes procedures for extreme risk protection orders. These orders can be requested by family or household members or law enforcement officers. The court must issue a temporary order if probable cause exists that the respondent poses a risk. The court then schedules a hearing to determine if a full order should be issued. The order requires the respondent to surrender firearms and prohibits them from possessing or purchasing firearms.
