US HB 7599 119th Congress house

Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act of 2026

Introduced Not law yet bank: queued

Not law yet. Pending legislation.

Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Now vs if chaptered

Now: no federal ERPO statute. If chaptered: new 18 U.S.C. 935 federal-court ERPO with ex parte and surrender. Confirm enactment before advising.

Defender utility

Federal and CA PDs: there is no federal ERPO on the books from this bill. Do not treat a state GVRO/ERPO as a 18 U.S.C. 935 order. If it chapters, the federal ex parte/surrender path is a new predicate and a challenge vehicle the bank already serves on ERPO. Not a California charge.

Who this is for. Federal defenders and CA PDs contrasting a pending federal ERPO against live GVRO/AB 1753 — not present law; not a California charge.
