Under existing law, when the judge of probate of a county enters an order for the involuntary commitment of a person for inpatient mental health treatment and the order is based on evidence from law enforcement personnel related to inappropriate firearm use, the judge of probate is required to forward the order to the Criminal Justice Information Center and the order is entered into the Criminal Justice Information System.
This bill would delete the above provision requiring the order to be based on evidence from a law enforcement officer regarding inappropriate firearm use.
Under existing law, when a person who has been committed is released from commitment, the person may petition the judge of probate for review of the person's mental capacity to purchase a firearm.
This bill would provide for the petition to be filed in the circuit court.
