Latest action on H.R. 7599: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who may be the subject of an extreme risk order, along with the family members, household members, and police officers who may ask for one. It also directly affects federal courts, the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, and state, Tribal, and local governments that run or want funding for similar laws.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would give people one more legal tool to act before a threatened suicide, shooting, or other gun-related harm happens. It also creates one federal process and links it to the national background check system, so an active order can follow a person across state and Tribal lines. At the same time, how often the law would be used, how well it would work, and how fairly it would be applied would depend on future court decisions, reporting, and enforcement.

Key provisions in H.R. 7599

Family or household members and law enforcement officers could ask a federal district court for an extreme risk order. They could seek either a fast emergency order or a longer order.
A judge could issue an emergency order without the other person present. The judge would need probable cause that the person is an immediate danger of causing injury with a gun or ammunition, and the order could last up to 14 days.
A longer order could happen only after a court hearing. The person must get notice, a chance to speak, and access to a lawyer, and the judge must find clear and convincing evidence of danger; the order could last up to 180 days and could be renewed.
A person under an order would have to give up all guns, ammunition, and gun permits they own or possess in or affecting interstate commerce. They would have to turn them over to the U.S. Marshals Service or a designated law enforcement officer within the bill's deadlines.
The U.S. Marshals Service would have to give a receipt for everything turned in and file that receipt with the court. Before returning anything after the order ends, the Marshals must check NICS, the federal background check system, to make sure the person can legally have it.
