Risk Protection Orders

Summary

The bill removes Florida’s statute that required surrender of guns under a risk protection order and changes several laws so mental‑health professionals can share a patient’s specific threat with law enforcement without being sued. It also authorizes police to seize firearms when taking someone into custody for an involuntary examination if a credible threat is present, and sets rules for returning seized weapons. The goal is to let authorities act faster to prevent violence.
