Protecting due process in firearm confiscation

Summary

The bill mandates that any protective order that bars a respondent from possessing firearms or ammunition must be preceded by an adversarial hearing in a court of record, and the ban can only be imposed if clear and convincing evidence shows an immediate danger. It also grants the respondent an automatic appeal that must be heard within ten days. This adds due‑process protections for people subject to domestic‑violence protective orders.
