DPS/Other Changes.

Summary

The bill rewrites the law so that when a court issues an emergency, ex parte, or permanent domestic‑violence protective order, the defendant must immediately surrender any guns, ammo, and related permits to the sheriff. It also outlines how the sheriff stores the items, may charge reasonable fees, and how the defendant or a third‑party owner can request their return after the order ends, subject to background checks. The changes aim to protect victims, especially minors, by limiting a defendant’s access to weapons.
