Relates to extreme risk protection orders for law enforcement officers; requires certain law enforcement officers to receive legal representation for matters relating to an extreme risk protection order; authorizes law enforcement officers or district attorneys to use discretion in determining when to apply for an extreme risk protection order in certain situations.

New York Assembly Bill A05711, introduced by Assemblymember Jodi Giglio on February 20, 2025, addresses extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) for law enforcement officers. The bill proposes two main provisions:

1. **Legal Representation for Law Enforcement Officers**: It mandates that certain law enforcement officers receive legal representation from the Office of the Attorney General when applying for an ERPO. This includes representation at all court appearances throughout the process.

2. **Discretion in Applying for ERPOs**: It grants law enforcement officers and district attorneys the discretion to decide when to apply for an ERPO, particularly in situations where:

- There is no connection to a firearm for the respondent.

- An existing order, charge, or condition already prohibits the respondent from owning, possessing, or purchasing a firearm.

The bill was referred to the Assembly Codes Committee on January 7, 2026, and remains pending. ([legiscan.com](https://legiscan.com/NY/bill/A05711/2025?utm_source=openai))
