H.221 proposes the establishment of the Firearm Surrender Order Compliance Working Group, tasked with developing a uniform process to ensure compliance with court orders regarding the surrender of firearms. The Working Group will study necessary statutory or policy changes, support entities responsible for storing surrendered firearms, and identify stable funding sources for compliance monitoring. The group will consist of various members, including representatives from public safety, law enforcement, legal practitioners, and advocacy organizations, ensuring a comprehensive approach to the issue.

The Working Group will define a compliance model that balances accountability for respondents with the safety needs of victims, assess the resources required for effective implementation, and consult with relevant stakeholders, including federal firearms licensees. The group is required to report its recommendations to the General Assembly by November 15, 2025, and will meet up to six times a year, with the Attorney General or designee serving as chair. The act will take effect upon passage.
