Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Grants to run ERPO programs
If enacted, the Attorney General would award grants to states, tribes, and local groups to run ERPO programs. Money could fund training, court and police capacity, forms, data, and public outreach. Grantees would have to spend 25% to 70% on law enforcement training and include bias, domestic violence, and mental-health topics. The program would begin about 180 days after enactment if funded.
Gun ban if court issues ERPO
If enacted, you could not possess or receive a gun if a court issued you a qualifying ERPO after a hearing. The order must bar gun possession and include a finding that you pose a danger. This new federal bar would start 180 days after enactment.
States and tribes would honor ERPOs
If enacted, states and tribes would have to enforce ERPOs from other states or tribes when due process was given. Police and courts could treat outside orders like their own. Tribal courts would have clear civil tools, like contempt and exclusion, to enforce orders. This would begin 180 days after enactment.
ERPOs added to background-check systems
If enacted, agencies could add ERPO records to national crime and background-check databases. People under an ERPO could be flagged during gun background checks. The bill also updates cross-references so NICS covers these orders. Changes would take effect 180 days after enactment.
