AK HB89

Peace officers or household members may petition district or superior court for a gun violence protective order against a person they reasonably believe poses a danger to self or others by possessing firearms

Standard protective orders require 10 days' notice to the respondent, a hearing, and clear and convincing evidence of danger; orders last six months and prohibit possessing, owning, purchasing, or receiving firearms and ammunition

Ex parte orders may be issued without notice based on preponderance of evidence showing significant danger and that less restrictive alternatives failed; these expire after 20 days

Emergency protective orders may be requested orally by peace officers when immediate danger exists and expire after 72 hours

Respondents must surrender all firearms and ammunition to law enforcement or sell to a firearms dealer within 24 hours of receiving an order; violating an order is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year incarceration and $10,000 fine
