The bill requires health professionals report to law enforcement, anyone, they believe presents a danger to themselves or others.
If a judge agrees, the person would have to relinquish their firearms.
The bill would prohibit a person committed to a hospital for treatment of a mental condition from possessing or obtaining a firearm.
Under current state law, people involuntarily committed to a mental institution are banned from owning guns.
