Under existing law, a judge of probate is required to notify the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency when an individual has been ordered for inpatient treatment and of any updates to any order previously issued.

This bill would require the judge of probate to notify the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency when an individual is involuntarily committed to either inpatient or outpatient treatment, and of any updates to any order previously issued.

Under existing law, upon receiving notice of a court order that would prohibit an individual from possessing a pistol or firearm under state or federal law, the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency must enter the information into the state firearms prohibited person database and ensure that a "Firearms Prohibited Person" notice is viewable by law enforcement officers and other authorized persons through the Law Enforcement Tactical System.

This bill would also require the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency to enter into the state firearms prohibited person database any court order received from a judge of probate ordering an individual be involuntarily committed.
