MI HB6134

Personal protection orders (PPOs) issued under MCL 600.2950 now must include a mandatory firearm surrender order regardless of whether the petitioner requested relief under the firearms prohibition provision.

Individuals subject to a PPO must surrender all firearms, concealed pistol licenses, and licenses under section 2 of 1927 PA 372 within 24 hours to a designated law enforcement agency or licensed firearm dealer.

Individuals must file a certificate with the court within 24 hours disclosing whether they own or control any firearms and whether they have surrendered them as required.

Courts must schedule a hearing within 5 days to verify surrender compliance; if firearms are not surrendered, the court may issue a search warrant to locate and seize them.

Law enforcement agencies must store surrendered firearms and allow reclamation after the PPO expires, unless the individual is prohibited from possessing firearms for another reason, with unclaimed firearms subject to disposal procedures after 90 days.
