SB83 enacts a red flag law known as the Extreme Risk Protection Order Act, allowing specified individuals to file a court action for the issuance of an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) against an individual deemed to pose a significant risk of personal injury by possessing a firearm.
The Michigan State Senate passed SB83 on April 19, 2023 by a vote of 20 to 17. We have assigned pluses to the nays because red flag laws are some of the most unconstitutional actions out there. Confiscating or prohibiting an individual from possessing a firearm without due process is a violation of the second, fourth, fifth, and fourteenth amendments.
