FL H0925

Requires persons subject to domestic violence, stalking, or cyberstalking protective injunctions to immediately relinquish all firearms and ammunition to a law enforcement officer upon request or within 24 hours to law enforcement or a federally licensed firearms dealer (extended timeline applies if person is incarcerated at time of service).

Mandates respondents file proof of firearm transfer, certification of non-ownership, or certification of inability to access firearms within 48 hours (or first 3 hours court is open) of personal service of the injunction order.

Requires law enforcement or licensed firearms dealers to issue proof of transfer documenting respondent name, transfer date, and make/model/serial number of each firearm; firearms may only be disposed of or returned after injunction expiration or termination.

Establishes that violation of firearm relinquishment requirements is a first-degree misdemeanor under section 790.233 and requires protective order forms to allow petitioners to describe any known firearms owned by respondent.

Exempts state and local officers with active certifications performing official duties on behalf of their employing agency from firearm restrictions, unless otherwise prohibited by their agency; effective date October 1, 2016.
