Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

In plain language

The bill changes how law enforcement officers are identified in firearms restraining orders.

This bill amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act to ensure that when a law enforcement officer petitions for a restraining order, it is recorded under the agency's name instead of the officer's name. This change aims to protect the officer's identity in public records.

Summary

Amends the Firearms Restraining Order Act. Provides that if the petitioner for a firearms restraining order against a respondent is a law enforcement officer, the petitioner shall be referred to as the law enforcement agency in which the officer is employed on all public indexes concerning the petition and not the individually named officer who filed the petition. Effective immediately.
