The bill H.221 proposes the establishment of the Firearm Surrender Order Compliance Working Group, which aims to develop a uniform process to ensure compliance with court orders regarding the surrender of firearms. The Working Group will study necessary statutory or policy changes to monitor compliance effectively, support entities responsible for storing surrendered firearms, and identify stable funding sources for additional resources. 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 is tasked with defining a compliance model that balances accountability for respondents and defendants with the safety needs of victims, determining the model's application in both Family and Criminal Divisions of the Superior Courts, and assessing the resources required for effective implementation. The group will also consult with relevant projects and engage with federal firearms licensees to understand their role in the process. The Working Group is required to report its recommendations to the General Assembly by November 15, 2025, and will be supported by the Office of the Attorney General. The bill will take effect upon passage.
