Description: Summary: The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends adopting 1 new gun violence restraining order (GVRO) form and revising 18 existing forms. These changes are needed to implement recent amendments in the Penal Code: Assembly Bill 12 allows an officer to file a GVRO in the name of the officer's law enforcement agency and extends the duration of a GVRO to a maximum of five years; Assembly Bill 61 allows an employer, coworker, or school administrator or teacher of a person believed to be dangerous to file a petition requesting a GVRO; and Assembly Bill 1493 authorizes a person who is the subject of a GVRO to submit a form to the court voluntarily relinquishing his or her firearm rights.
