Summary
Summary
Assembly Bill 2759 (Petrie-Norris; Stats. 2024, ch. 535), effective January 1, 2025, created new requirements for granting a firearm exemption to a restraining order that includes a firearm or ammunition prohibition. The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee recommends adopting two new firearm exemption order forms and revising several domestic violence and juvenile restraining order forms to reflect the new requirements. The committee also recommends revisions to form CLETS-001 to include an instruction for petitioners of retail theft protective orders and to make necessary updates.
