In plain language

The bill modifies the automated protection order notification system regarding firearm eligibility information.

The bill repeals a requirement that the notification system include whether a restrained person indicated ineligibility for firearm possession. It also requires that information be made available to the division of criminal justice by a different program.

Summary

Current law requires that the automated protection order notification system (notification system) include information about whether a restrained person completed and submitted a firearm purchase or transfer application that indicated the restrained person was ineligible to possess a firearm pursuant to state or federal law. The act repeals this provision.     Current law requires the Colorado bureau of investigation to make the information in the notification system available to the division of criminal justice (division) for the purpose of providing the information to a protected person. The act requires the Colorado integrated criminal justice information system program to also make the information available to the division.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Senate Bill 124 includes several significant changes to the law regarding the automated protection order notification system. Notably, it now mandates that the system must track whether an extreme risk protection order has been issued against an individual, along with the date it was served. Additionally, it will record instances where a restrained person was denied the ability to purchase or transfer a firearm after a background check, which could help enhance public safety by ensuring that this critical information is easily accessible and tracked. These changes matter because they aim to strengthen the enforcement of protective orders and provide law enforcement and public safety agencies with more comprehensive data to prevent potential harm.
