Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The Lori Jackson-Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act expands federal firearm restrictions to protect domestic violence survivors by prohibiting anyone subject to a domestic violence restraining order—including emergency or temporary orders—from possessing or receiving firearms, provided proper notice procedures are followed. The bill strengthens this protection by applying a broader definition of "covered domestic violence court order" than previous federal law allowed. The legislation also makes technical corrections to the NICS Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 to ensure consistent legal references throughout federal firearms regulations. These changes aim to close gaps in existing federal law that previously allowed some individuals subject to domestic violence court orders to retain firearms.
