People seeking extreme risk protection orders would get legal help and resources through new grants.
This bill would create a new grant program to help people seeking extreme risk protection orders. States, local, and Tribal governments could get money to provide legal representation and information to these individuals. It would also limit federal courts from hearing lawsuits against people who file these petitions, unless the petition was false or harassing.
Today, there is no specific federal grant program to help people get legal aid when they seek extreme risk protection orders, and federal courts can hear lawsuits related to these petitions. If this bill becomes law, the Attorney General would set aside $50 million each year for five years, starting in the government's budget year 2027, for grants to states, local, and Tribal governments to provide this legal help. Also, federal courts would be prevented from hearing lawsuits against people who file these petitions, unless the petition was false or intentionally harassing.
