Courts must hold compliance hearings within 10 business days of issuing a firearms transfer order to verify that abusing parties in domestic violence, harassment, and stalking cases have surrendered their firearms as required.

Abusing parties found to pose an imminent risk of causing substantial bodily harm must immediately surrender firearms to local law enforcement, rather than having three business days to transfer them.

Persons ordered to transfer firearms must file proof of transfer within two business days, including notarized affidavits specifying serial numbers, make, and model of all firearms transferred.

Courts may issue arrest warrants or initiate contempt proceedings against individuals who fail to comply with transfer orders or fail to appear at compliance hearings.

Individuals who voluntarily surrender firearms receive immunity from prosecution based on that surrender, except for perjury or false statements, with protections for self-incrimination claims.
