This legislative bill focuses on enforcing firearm restrictions on individuals found to be abusive, particularly in domestic situations. It amends several Minnesota statutes to provide comprehensive measures for removing firearms from individuals who are subject to restraining orders or have been convicted of abuse, harassment, or stalking. Key aspects include:

1. Enforcement of Firearms Restrictions: Courts can order individuals involved in domestic abuse or child abuse cases to transfer their firearms to licensed dealers, law enforcement, or approved third parties within specified timeframes.

2. Court-Ordered Measures: Beyond the transfer of firearms, the court may impose additional restrictions, including excluding the abusing party from the family home, setting temporary visitation rights, and mandating counseling.

3. Procedure for Handling Firearms: Provision for the temporary or permanent transfer of firearms is outlined. Fees may be charged for storage by law enforcement or firearms dealers, and specific steps must be taken to ensure that firearms are appropriately handled and accounted for.

4. Compliance and Verification: Abusers must provide proof of firearm transfer, and third parties involved in the transfer must also submit necessary documentation to ensure they legally possess the transferred firearms. Failure to comply can result in contempt proceedings.

5. Additional Protective Measures: Courts have the authority to enact further preventive measures to ensure the safety of abuse victims, such as mandating no contact orders and adjusting child custody arrangements in consideration of safety.

The bill aims to tighten safety protocols and legal frameworks to protect victims of domestic violence and other forms of abuse by restricting abusers' access to firearms.
