Colorado Governor Jared Polis has signed legislation that strengthens the state's Extreme Risk Protection Order law, commonly known as the red flag law. This expansion broadens the criteria for who can petition courts to temporarily remove firearms from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. With over 370 successful interventions recorded through 2024, the enhanced legislation aims to improve public safety by making the process more accessible to concerned family members, medical professionals, and community members across Colorado.
