(Action Required)

Summary
Summary
Recent legislation addressed firearm and ammunition relinquishment for defendants subject to a criminal protective order and lengthened the time frame for certain postconviction criminal protective orders. To implement this legislation, the Criminal Law Advisory Committee recommends repealing a rule of court, adopting two new forms, approving four new forms including an information sheet, and revising three criminal protective order forms. The committee also recommends adopting a new confidential California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System form for use with criminal protective orders, and amending California Rules of Court, rule 1.51 to require prosecuting agencies to use the form.
