AB 1014 – Gun Violence Restraining Orders
Nancy Skinner (D-15)

CRPA’s Position: Oppose

Summary: This bill would authorize a court to issue a gun violence restraining order if a law enforcement officer asserts and a judge finds that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the subject of the petition poses an immediate and present danger of causing personal injury to himself, herself, or another by having under his or her custody and control, owning, purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm and/or ammunition and that the order is necessary to prevent personal injury to himself, herself, or another person, as specified. The restraining order would be issued without prior notice to the named person and without the benefit of a court hearing where the named person is present to defend himself before the order is issued and their firearms and are seized. A hearing would be held within 21 days following issuance of the gun violence restraining order.
