Bill overview
This bill, the Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act, aims to strengthen protections for victims of domestic violence by preventing abusers from possessing firearms. It expands the definition of ‘intimate partner’ to include dating partners and clarifies the scope of domestic violence restraining orders. The bill also establishes a grant program to help states and tribes implement policies requiring abusers subject to these orders to surrender their firearms within 24-48 hours, and creates a process for law enforcement to remove firearms if surrender isn't completed. Finally, it updates federal law to align with these state-level efforts.
