Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko testified today in the California State Senate Public Safety Committee in support of Assembly Bill 1344, a measure aimed at significantly enhancing public safety. Authored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, the bill would authorize district attorneys to directly petition the courts for Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs), commonly referred to as “Red Flag Laws.” These judicial orders allow a judge to temporarily prohibit firearm possession by individuals who pose a significant danger to themselves or others.
AB 1344 passed out of the Senate Public Safety Committee and now advances to the Senate Appropriations Committee for further consideration. Lightbox link for post with description Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko...
