HFA 1 Synopsis
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Creates the Firearms Restraining Order Act. Provides that a petitioner may request an emergency firearms restraining order by filing an affidavit or verified pleading alleging that the respondent poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Provides that the petition shall also describe the type, and location of any firearm or firearms presently believed by the petitioner to be possessed or controlled by the respondent. Provides that the petitioner may be a family member of the respondent or a law enforcement officer, who files a petition alleging that the respondent poses a danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm. Establishes factors that the court must consider before issuing a firearms restraining order. Provides for the issuance of ex parte orders and 6-month orders. Provides that if the court issues the order the respondent must: (1) refrain from having in his or her custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving additional firearms for the duration of the order; and (2) turn over to the local law enforcement agency any firearm, Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or concealed carry license in his or her possession. Provides that a respondent whose Firearm Owner's Identification Card has been revoked may petition the court to transfer the respondent's firearm to a person who is lawfully able to possess the firearm if the person does not reside at the same address as the respondent. Provides that notice of the petition shall be served upon the person protected by the firearms restraining order. Establishes factors for renewing and terminating firearms restraining orders. Provides that if the court denies issuance of a firearms restraining order against the respondent, all records of the proceeding shall be immediately expunged from the court records. Provides that if the firearms restraining order is granted, all records of the proceeding shall, 3 years after the expiration of the order, be sealed. Provides that any act of omission or commission by any law enforcement officer acting in good faith in rendering emergency assistance or otherwise enforcing this Act shall not impose civil liability upon the law enforcement officer or his or her supervisor or employer, unless the act is a result of willful or wanton misconduct. Amends the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act and the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to make conforming changes.

Valinda was scheduled to testify on this bill but, they pulled it at the last minute...
We will have to wait and see what happens next.  We have been pushing for fixes for this bill from the beginning.  They have fixed a bunch of items in it but, it still has a couple of warts that need addressed.
