The bill enacts the Gun Violence Restraining Order Act, which authorizes the issuance of protective orders that prohibit certain individuals from acquiring and possessing firearms. It defines key terms such as "dating relationship," "defendant," "family member," and "gun violence restraining order," and outlines the process for filing a request for such an order. Individuals eligible to file include spouses, former spouses, individuals with children in common, and those with close relationships to the defendant. The court may issue a restraining order if there is reasonable cause to believe the defendant poses a significant risk of personal injury to themselves or others due to firearm possession.

The bill also details the procedures for serving and enforcing the restraining orders, including provisions for law enforcement to seize firearms from the restrained individual. It mandates that the court provide copies of the order to law enforcement and the plaintiff, and it establishes the conditions under which the order can be modified or rescinded. Additionally, the bill includes penalties for violations of the order and outlines the process for extending the order if necessary. The act will take effect upon publication in the Kansas register.
