This bill proposes the creation of a new section, 62.1-01-03.2, in the North Dakota Century Code, which establishes a state prohibition on extreme risk protection provisions. The bill defines "extreme risk protection provision" as any rule or order that restricts an individual deemed at extreme risk of personal injury or death from accessing firearms. It explicitly states that such provisions do not include domestic violence protection orders or involuntary commitment orders. The bill prohibits any person, including state agencies or political subdivisions, from adopting or enforcing these extreme risk protection measures.
Additionally, the bill restricts the use of state resources to implement any statutes or orders that would enforce extreme risk protection provisions, with the exception of the Department of Health and Human Services. Violating this prohibition would result in a class B felony charge. Overall, the legislation aims to prevent the implementation of measures that could limit access to firearms for individuals identified as at risk, thereby reinforcing gun rights within the state.
