This bill proposes updates to current statutes regarding the voluntary prohibition of firearm possession. Under the new provisions, individuals can voluntarily request to be added to a "voluntary prohibited possessor list," which would restrict them from purchasing or possessing firearms for a period of up to 180 days. The process requires individuals to complete a request form, which can be submitted either in person to a law enforcement agency or through their healthcare provider. Upon receipt, the court will add the individual to the list, notify the national instant criminal background check system, and provide options for extending the prohibition or requesting removal after 30 days.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for the request form, including personal information and an acknowledgment of the implications of being on the list. It also mandates that any records related to the individual's request be destroyed within five days after their removal from the list. Overall, the bill introduces a structured process for individuals to voluntarily restrict their firearm possession while ensuring their rights can be restored after the designated period.
