Senate Bill 112 amends the Government Code and Local Government Code to authorize a peace officer, during a state of disaster or a state of emergency, to disarm an individual lawfully carrying or possessing any firearm or ammunition if the officer reasonably believes it necessary for the protection of the officer or another individual. The bill requires the officer to return the firearm or ammunition to the individual before ceasing to detain the individual unless the officer arrests the individual or seizes the firearm as evidence in a criminal investigation.
