72.8 	the respondent. The court shall order service by first class mail, forwarding address requested, 
72.9 	to any addresses where there is a reasonable possibility that mail or information will be 
72.10 	forwarded or communicated to the respondent. The court may also order publication, within

72.28 	(6) a conviction for an offense of cruelty to animals under chapter 343;
72.29 	(7) the unlawful and reckless use, display, or brandishing of a firearm by the respondent;
72.30 	(8) a history of self-harm by the respondent; and
73.1 	(9) whether the respondent is named in an existing order in effect under sections 624.7171 
73.2 	to 624.7178 or chapter 260C or 518B, or party to a pending lawsuit, complaint, petition, or 
73.3 	other action under sections 624.7171 to 624.7178 or chapter 518B.
73.4 	(c) In determining whether to grant the order after a hearing, the court may consider any 
73.5 	other evidence that bears on whether the respondent poses a danger to the respondent's self 
73.6 	or others.
73.7 	(d) If the court finds there is a preponderance of the evidence to issue an extreme risk 
73.8 	protection order, the court shall issue the order prohibiting the person from possessing a 
73.9 	firearm for the duration of the order. The court shall inform the respondent that the respondent 
73.10 	is prohibited from possessing firearms and shall issue a transfer order under section 624.7175. 
73.11 	The court shall also give notice to the county attorney's office, which may take action as it 
73.12 	deems appropriate.
73.13 	(e) The order shall have a fixed period, to be determined by the court, of not less than 
73.14 	six months and not more than two years, subject to renewal or extension under section 
73.15 	624.7173.
73.16 	(f) If there is no existing emergency order under section 624.7174 at the time an order 
73.17 	is granted under this section, the court shall determine by a preponderance of the evidence 
73.18 	whether the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of bodily harm. If the 
73.19 	court so determines, the transfer order shall include the provisions described in section 
73.20 	624.7175, paragraph (c).
73.21 	(g) If, after a hearing, the court does not issue an order of protection, the court shall

74.20 	danger of bodily harm to the respondent's self or to other persons by possessing a firearm, 
74.21 	and (2) the respondent presents an immediate and present danger of bodily harm, the court 
74.22 	shall issue an ex parte emergency order prohibiting the respondent from possessing a firearm 
74.23 	for the duration of the order. The order shall inform the respondent that the respondent is 
74.24 	prohibited from possessing firearms and shall issue a transfer order under section 624.7175, 
74.25 	paragraph (c).
74.26 	(c) A finding by the court that there is a basis for issuing an emergency extreme risk

74.28 	applicable court rules governing applications for ex parte relief.
74.29 	(d) The emergency order shall have a fixed period of 14 days unless a hearing is set 
74.30 	under section 624.7172 on an earlier date, in which case the order shall expire upon a judge's

75.16 	respondent's firearms to a law enforcement agency, the agency must accept the transfer. 
75.17 	The transfer may be permanent or temporary. A temporary firearm transfer only entitles 
75.18 	the receiving party to possess the firearm and does not transfer ownership or title. If the 
75.19 	respondent makes a temporary transfer, a federally licensed firearms dealer or law 
75.20 	enforcement agency may charge the respondent a reasonable fee to store the firearms and 
75.21 	may establish policies for disposal of abandoned firearms, provided these policies require 
75.22 	that the respondent be notified prior to disposal of abandoned firearms. If a respondent 
75.23 	permanently transfers the respondent's firearms to a law enforcement agency, the agency 
75.24 	is not required to compensate the respondent and may charge the respondent a reasonable 
75.25 	processing fee.
75.26 	(b) A person directed to transfer any firearms pursuant to paragraph (a) may transfer 
75.27 	any antique firearm, as defined in United States Code, title 18, section 921, paragraph (a), 
75.28 	clause (16), as amended, or a curio or relic as defined in Code of Federal Regulations, title 
75.29 	27, section 478.11, as amended, to a relative who does not live with the respondent after 
75.30 	confirming that the relative may lawfully own or possess a firearm.
75.31 	(c) The respondent must file proof of transfer as provided in this paragraph.
75.32 	(1) A law enforcement agency or federally licensed firearms dealer accepting transfer 
75.33 	of a firearm pursuant to this section shall provide proof of transfer to the respondent. The 
75.34 	proof of transfer must specify whether the firearms were permanently or temporarily 
76.1 	transferred and must include the name of the respondent, date of transfer, and the serial 
76.2 	number, manufacturer, and model of all transferred firearms. If transfer is made to a federally 
76.3 	licensed firearms dealer, the respondent shall, within two business days after being served 
76.4 	with the order, file a copy of proof of transfer with the law enforcement agency and attest 
76.5 	that all firearms owned or possessed at the time of the order have been transferred in 
76.6 	accordance with this section and that the person currently does not possess any firearms. If 
76.7 	the respondent claims not to own or possess firearms, the respondent shall file a declaration 
76.8 	of nonpossession with the law enforcement agency attesting that, at the time of the order, 
76.9 	the respondent neither owned nor possessed any firearms, and that the respondent currently 
76.10 	neither owns nor possesses any firearms. If the transfer is made to a relative pursuant to 
76.11 	paragraph (b), the relative must sign an affidavit under oath before a notary public either 
76.12 	acknowledging that the respondent permanently transferred the respondent's antique firearms, 
76.13 	curios, or relics to the relative or agreeing to temporarily store the respondent's antique 
76.14 	firearms, curios, or relics until such time as the respondent is legally permitted to possess 
76.15 	firearms. To the extent possible, the affidavit shall indicate the serial number, make, and 
76.16 	model of all antique firearms, curios, or relics transferred by the respondent to the relative.
76.17 	(2) The court shall seal affidavits, proofs of transfer, and declarations of nonpossession 
76.18 	filed pursuant to this paragraph.
76.19 	(d) If a court issues an emergency order under section 624.7174, or makes a finding of 
76.20 	immediate and present danger under section 624.7172, subdivision 2, paragraph (f), and 
76.21 	there is probable cause to believe the respondent possesses firearms, the court shall issue a 
76.22 	search warrant to the local law enforcement agency to take possession of all firearms in the 
76.23 	respondent's possession as soon as practicable. The local law enforcement agency shall, 
76.24 	upon written notice from the respondent, transfer the firearms to a federally licensed firearms 
76.25 	dealer. Before a local law enforcement agency transfers a firearm under this paragraph, the 
76.26 	agency shall require the federally licensed firearms dealer receiving the firearm to submit 
76.27 	a proof of transfer that complies with the requirements for proofs of transfer established in 
76.28 	paragraph (c). The agency shall file all proofs of transfer received by the court within two 
76.29 	business days of the transfer. A federally licensed firearms dealer who accepts a firearm 
76.30 	transfer pursuant to this paragraph shall comply with paragraphs (a) and (c) as if accepting 
76.31 	transfer directly from the respondent. If the law enforcement agency does not receive written 
76.32 	notice from the respondent within three business days, the agency may charge a reasonable 
76.33 	fee to store the respondent's firearms. A law enforcement agency may establish policies for 
76.34 	disposal of abandoned firearms, provided these policies require that the respondent be 
76.35 	notified prior to disposal of abandoned firearms.
