Bill overview
This bill, the Fair Legal Access Grants Act, aims to improve access to legal assistance for individuals seeking extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) – court orders designed to temporarily prevent someone from possessing firearms if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others. It does this by creating a grant program funded by the Department of Justice to provide legal representation, resources, and information to those petitioning for ERPOs, particularly those facing language barriers or lacking legal support. The bill also addresses jurisdictional issues to prevent frivolous lawsuits related to ERPO petitions.
