Extreme risk protection orders application, securement, and enforcement processes modifications

Summary

The legislation updates Minnesota’s extreme risk protection order (ERPO) law by redefining family members, allowing the respondent to file a petition, and removing filing fees. It also requires courts to provide simplified forms, waive costs, and quickly transmit orders to local law enforcement and the national background‑check system. The changes aim to make ERPOs easier to obtain while protecting health information and preserving law‑enforcement authority.
