MA ERPO edit 1 question

noviembre 2024

In our Massachusetts Extreme Risk Protection Orders section, we revised Who can file for an extreme risk protection order? to include the following additional people who can file:

  • a healthcare provider who provided health care services to the respondent within the past six months; and
  • a principal, assistant principal, or administrator of a school of college where the respondent is enrolled.

We also clarified that a law enforcement officer who files must have interacted with the respondent in an official capacity within the past 30 days. These edits are in line with the court petition that was revised in October 2024. Changes made in English; Spanish coming soon!
