Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Defender utility

New York defenders on DV firearm-seizure calendars: demand the statutory trigger (DIR answers vs officer belief), scope of what was seized, and the 120-hour return clock. Separate temporary custody from lasting prohibition orders (OOP/ERPO/charge bars). Portable contrast for CA GVRO/DVRO relinquishment practice — different procedure, different return path.

Who this is for. NY PDs on DV scene seizure/return calendars; multi-state firms contrasting temporary custody vs ERPO — not a California charge.
