Illinoi Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) Signed a Bill earlier this week, making it the 13th State to Enact what is known as an Extreme Risk Protection Order Law.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders authorize Family Members or Law Enforcement Officials to Petition the Court to Confiscate Firearms from Individuals deemed Dangerous to Themselves or Others.
Supporters of Extreme Risk Protection Orders say the Orders can be used as a Tool to prevent Violence and Save Lives. Opponents say such Orders allow the Revocation of an Individual’s Second Amendment rights without Due Process.
HB 2354 Passed the Illinois House of Representatives by an 80-32 Vote on May 23rd, 2018, and the Illinois State Senate by a 43-11 vote on May 30th, 2018.
Thirteen States: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, have enacted Laws Authorizing Courts to issue Extreme Risk Protection Orders.
Of these States, one was controlled by a Republican Trifecta when the Law was adopted, and Five were controlled by Democratic Trifectas. Eight of these States adopted their Law this year.
