House Bill 2407 amends the Estates Code, as effective January 1, 2014, to authorize a person whose guardianship was terminated because the person's capacity was completely restored to file an application with the court that created the guardianship for an order requesting the removal of the person's disability to purchase a firearm imposed under federal law. The bill also authorizes either the ward or a person interested in the ward's welfare to request an order seeking such relief at a proceeding involving the complete restoration of the ward's capacity. The bill requires a court, in determining whether to grant such relief, to hear and consider certain evidence and prohibits the court from granting relief unless the court makes and enters into the record certain affirmative findings.
