The purpose of this bill is to resolve a conflict in criminal statutes. Last year, the Legislature passed House Bill No. 2739 which authorized law-enforcement officers to seize any weapons in the respondent's possession at the time the officer serves the respondent with the order. Further, House Bill No. 2739 made the possession of a firearm by a respondent a criminal offense after an emergency protective order issued and before a hearing. This bill clarifies that law-enforcement may remove weapons possessed after service or notice but before an actual hearing.
