Oregon Governor Kate Brown signed into law a bill establishing circumstances under which citizens of that state could be forced to surrender their firearms to government agents.
Section 2 of the new statute (formerly Senate Bill 719) gives power to:
A law enforcement officer or a family or household member of a person may file a petition requesting that the court issue an extreme risk protection order enjoining the person from having in the person’s custody or control, owning, purchasing, possessing or receiving, or attempting to purchase or receive, a deadly weapon.
That’s right. File a petition in Oregon and you can disarm a relative or roommate.
The state Senate passed the bill 17-11in May and their colleagues in the state House did likewise in July by a vote of 31-28.
Governor Brown’s approval of the act in August was never in question. During debates on the measure, she described the measure as the “best way to ensure that a person who is at risk of harming themselves or others is identified, while still ensuring their rights are protected by a court review.”
As set out in the new statute, one seeking such an order against someone else must go through a legal process that includes approval of the petition by a judge. Should the judge issue the desired decree, the prohibitions against owning, buying, possessing, receiving or trying to buy or receive a firearm will be in effect for a year.
How will the weapons and ammunition owned in defiance of an “extreme risk protection order” be seized from the person covered by the order?
The law grants authority to police to search and seize any weapons and ammo not voluntarily surrendered to the appropriate government entity (or its authorized agents) within 30 days.
The subject of the order has 3o days to appeal the order and the hearing on the appeal must be heard within 21 days of the filing of the notice of appeal.
