| This bill allows the court, in the most dangerous protection |
| from abuse cases, to issue a temporary order that prohibits the |
| defendant from possessing a firearm or other dangerous weapon. |
| The bill incorporates proven indicators of increased risk of |
| death in domestic violence situations to help the court determine |
| when it is appropriate to grant the permitted relief. It also |
| provides the defendant with a prompt hearing and decision on a |
| motion for dissolution or modification. Finally, the bill |
| requires a defendant to relinquish possession of firearms and |
| specified dangerous weapons if the defendant is prohibited from |
| possession in either a temporary or permanent protection order. |
