The Armed Forces Crisis Intervention Notification Act requires the Department of Defense to establish a policy within one year directing military branches to fully use state extreme risk protection order programs when a commanding officer determines that a service member poses a serious threat of violence to themselves, others, or military facilities. The bill applies to active and former members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force, and requires military branches to participate in court proceedings related to these protection orders, including providing relevant evidence and factual information to law enforcement and judicial personnel. The legislation modifies privacy protections under federal health and privacy laws to allow the military to share necessary information in these crisis intervention situations. The bill also requires the Defense Department to create guidelines ensuring that commanding officers understand their obligations under applicable state extreme risk protection order programs in their jurisdictions. No specific federal funding is authorized by the bill.
