Bill overview
The Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act expands federal law to prevent individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. Specifically, it broadens the definition of ‘qualifying domestic violence court orders’ to include ex parte orders and those involving dating partners, and it requires states to establish ‘firearm surrender orders’ when such orders are issued. The bill also creates a grant program to help states and tribes implement these policies, including removing firearms from individuals subject to the orders.
