flag Colorado expands red flag law to let schools, clinics, and hospitals petition to temporarily remove guns from perceived threats.

flag Colorado’s Senate has passed Senate Bill 4, expanding the state’s red flag law to allow schools, healthcare providers, and behavioral health facilities to petition for extreme risk protection orders that temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a threat. flag The bill, which passed nearly along party lines, now moves to the Democratic-controlled House for expected approval before reaching Governor Jared Polis, who supports the measure. flag The expansion builds on previous updates that added teachers and healthcare professionals as petitioners. flag Supporters say it will help prevent gun violence and suicides, citing the law’s effectiveness since 2020. flag Opponents argue it risks infringing on Second Amendment rights and could lead to unfounded petitions, though nonpartisan analysis indicates minimal fiscal impact due to existing state funding.
