California teachers, school administrators and employers could ask the courts to take guns away from people they see as a danger under a major expansion of the state’s “red flag” law approved by the Legislature on Monday and sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
California teachers, school administrators and employers could ask the courts to take guns away from people they see as a danger to themselves or the public under a major expansion of the state’s “red flag” law approved by the Legislature on Monday and sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“Given what we have seen from the mass shootings in most recent days, expansion like this would be very, very helpful,” state Sen. Nancy Skinner , chairwoman of the Senate Public Safety Committee, said during the floor debate.Assemblyman Phil Ting introduced the bill following a February 2018 shooting that left 17 people dead at a high school in Parkland, Fla. He noted some school officials had raised concerns about the behavior of the 19-year-old gunman before the shooting.
Ting’s bill, which requires teachers to go through school administrators for restraining orders, was also opposed by groups that advocate for gun owners, including the California Rifle & Pistol Assn. and National Rifle Assn. The Legislature also voted Monday to send the governor a bill that would streamline the restraining order law by allowing people subject to an order application to voluntarily relinquish a gun and not contest a petition by others.
Lawmakers are also considering Assembly Bill 12, which would extend gun violence restraining orders from a year to five years while allowing gun owners to annually petition the court for return of their firearms.
