SB2435 - Lethal Violence Order of Protection Act

• Creates a new civil order allowing family members or law enforcement to petition courts to restrict firearm access for individuals posing immediate or significant danger of causing personal injury to themselves or others.

• Establishes two types of orders: emergency orders (issued ex parte without notice, valid pending a full hearing within 14 days) and one-year orders (issued after a hearing where petitioner proves by preponderance of evidence the respondent poses significant danger).

• Requires respondents subject to these orders to surrender all firearms, Firearm Owner's Identification Cards, and concealed carry licenses to local law enforcement within specified timeframes; law enforcement must safeguard or destroy these items as appropriate.

• Allows a respondent one opportunity during the order's duration to request termination by proving they no longer pose danger; permits renewal of orders within 3 months before expiration if petitioner proves continuing danger.

• Amends firearm licensing laws to make lethal violence orders grounds for denying or revoking Firearm Owner's Identification Cards and suspending concealed carry licenses; violation of such an order is a Class A misdemeanor.
