Summary
The measure allows a judge to issue a temporary extreme‑risk protection order when there is probable cause that someone may cause imminent harm by having a firearm. The order requires the person to be taken into protective custody and transported to an emergency room, and it triggers a search warrant for any guns they possess. A hearing must be held within 14 days to decide if a one‑year order should follow.
