HB 26-1072

failed

Right to Firearm Possession & Elimination of Extreme Risk Protection Orders

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

House Bill 26-1072, which has been signed into law in Colorado, aims to protect individuals' rights to own and use firearms as much as the state and federal constitutions allow. The bill also removes extreme risk protection orders, which are court orders that temporarily restrict firearm access for people deemed a danger to themselves or others. This change affects anyone who might be subject to such an order and could make it harder for law enforcement and family members to take firearms away from individuals at risk of harming themselves or others. Since the bill has been signed, its provisions are now in effect.

Official Summary

The bill codifies an individual's right to own, possess, and use a firearm to the maximum extent permissible by the state and federal constitutions.     Extreme risk protection orders and temporary extreme risk protection orders are repealed.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
