Relating to mental health examination requirements.

Summary

The measure creates a process for individuals prohibited from possessing firearms due to a mental‑health adjudication or involuntary commitment to ask a circuit court to lift that ban. To succeed, petitioners must provide a list of past treatment facilities, consent to release their records, and a recent mental‑health examination signed by an authorized professional. The court must find clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner is competent and not a danger before restoring the right.
