Weapons: firearms; firearms law; amend to reflect repeal of the extreme risk protection order act. Amends secs. 2, 2b, 5b & 8 of 1927 PA 372 (MCL 28.422 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4140'25, HB 4140'25

The bill, introduced by Representative James DeSana, proposes changes to Michigan's firearms laws to remove references to the extreme risk protection order act, which has been repealed. This means that certain legal provisions related to temporarily restricting access to firearms for individuals deemed a risk will no longer be in effect. The bill is tied to another piece of legislation, HB 4140.

Supporters of the bill argue that it simplifies Michigan's firearms laws by eliminating outdated provisions, thereby promoting clarity and consistency in legal regulations. They believe this move respects individual rights and aligns with a broader effort to protect Second Amendment freedoms.

Critics of the bill contend that repealing the extreme risk protection order act undermines public safety by removing a tool that could help prevent gun violence. They argue that this legislation could lead to increased risks for communities by making it harder to intervene in situations where individuals pose a danger to themselves or others.
