SB1291 - Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act

• Creates a new civil remedy allowing family members or law enforcement officers to petition courts for orders prohibiting respondents from possessing, purchasing, or receiving firearms based on imminent danger to self or others.

• Establishes two types of orders: emergency orders issued ex parte (without notice) within one day, and one-year orders issued after a hearing where petitioner must prove significant danger by preponderance of evidence.

• Requires respondents subject to orders to surrender firearms, Firearm Owner's Identification Cards, and concealed carry licenses to local law enforcement for safekeeping, with return allowed after order expiration if respondent remains eligible.

• Authorizes law enforcement to search for and seize firearms when probable cause exists, and permits destruction or training use of firearms if respondent cannot be located or is ineligible to possess firearms.

• Makes violation of orders a Class A misdemeanor and amends firearm licensing laws to suspend concealed carry licenses and deny Firearm Owner's Identification Cards for persons subject to lethal violence orders.
