                                BILL NUMBER:S2230

TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the criminal procedure law, the correction law, the
family court act, the executive law, the general business law, the
judiciary law, the mental hygiene law, the penal law and the
surrogate's court procedure act, in relation to suspension and
revocation of firearms licenses; private sale or disposal of firearms,
rifles or shotguns and establishing a minimum age to possess a
firearm; to amend the family court act, the domestic relations law and
the criminal procedure law, in relation to providing for the mandatory
suspension or revocation of the firearms license of a person against
whom an order of protection or a temporary order of protection has
been issued under certain circumstances, or upon violation of any such
order; to amend the penal law, in relation to community guns and the
criminal sale of a firearm and in relation to the definitions of
aggravated and first degree murder; to amend chapter 408 of the laws
of 1999 constituting Kendra's Law, in relation to extending the
expiration thereof; and to amend the education law, in relation to the
New York state school safety improvement teams; and in relation to
building aid for metal detectors and safety devices

PURPOSE:

This legislation will protect New Yorkers by reducing the availability

of assault weapons and deterring the criminal use of firearms while
promoting a fair, consistent and efficient method of ensuring that
sportsmen and other legal gun owners have full enjoyment of the guns
to which they are entitled. A thoughtful network of laws provides the
toughest, most comprehensive and balanced answer in the nation to gun
violence. Through this legislation, New York is the first in the
nation to completely ban all pre-1994 high capacity magazines; to ban
any magazine that holds more than seven rounds (rather than a limit of
ten) and to both track ammunition purchases in real time to permit
alerts on high volume buyers, while also checking on the buyer's
background.

In a range of reforms the bill attends to the weaknesses in the
state's current regulatory structure to bring a consistency and
rationality that must be the cornerstone of a safe society. A single
standard across the State will ensure that legal gun owners obtain
their licenses expeditiously while those prohibited are denied that
privilege. A statewide database will keep the registry current and
guard against the dangerous or unstable possessing guns. New rules
will close a loophole that excludes private sales of guns from a
federal background check; tighten provisions governing gun ownership
by persons with serious mental illness; require safe storage of guns
for gun owners who live with someone who has been convicted of certain
crimes, is under an order of protection, or who has been involuntarily
committed as a result of a mental illness. The bill also creates new
and enhanced penalties for illegal gun use, and enhances protections
for victims of domestic violence by requiring the firearm surrenders
and gun license suspension and revocation in cases where an order of
protection has been issued.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:


Assault Weapons

Section 37 of the bill amends Penal Law § 265.00(22) in order to
strengthen New York's assault weapon ban, expanding its reach and
making it easier to enforce. The proposed amendments replace the
existing ban consisting of and a "two-feature" test adopted from the
now-expired federal assault weapons ban with a clearer "one-feature"
test. The "two-feature" test bans any gun that is semi-automatic, has
a detachable magazine (in the case of pistols and rifles), and
possesses two features that are commonly associated with military
weapons. The "one-feature" test would ban semi-automatic guns with
detachable magazines that possess one feature commonly associated with
military weapons. This section also adds to the list of "features"
that characterize a banned weapon.

Within one year of the effective date, all weapons defined as assault
weapons under the new "one-feature" test, as well as weapons
grandfathered in under the original assault weapons ban, must be
registered. Current owners of these banned weapons may transfer the
weapons only to a firearms dealer or transfer to an out of state
buyer. All registered owners will be subject to a review of
disqualifiers by the State Police.

Ammunition

Section 38 of the bill amends Penal Law § 265.00(23) to ban all large
capacity magazines that have the capacity to hold more than ten rounds
of ammunition including those that were grandfathered in under the
original assault weapons ban and creates a new ban on magazines that
hold more than seven rounds of ammunition. Magazines that can hold
more than seven rounds but not more than ten rounds and are currently
possessed will be grandfathered in, but may only contain seven rounds
of ammunition. Exceptions are made for large capacity magazines that
are curios or relics.

Section 39 also adds a new section to Penal Law § 265.00 to define
seller of ammunition.

Section 50 of the bill enhances control over sales of ammunition by
adding a new Penal Law § 400.03 requiring (1) that sellers of
ammunition register with the superintendent of the State Police (2)
that prior to a sale of ammunition, a seller must run the buyer
through a State-created review of disqualifiers to ensure that the
buyer is not prohibited by law from possessing ammunition, and (3)
that ammunition sales are electronically accessible to the State. In
addition, to prevent from purchasing ammunition, the bill requires
that any ammunition sold commercially must be conducted by a seller
that can perform a background check.

Licensing

Section 49 creates a new Penal Law § 400.02 establishing a statewide
gun license and record database. Section 18 amends Section 212 of the
Judiciary Law to require that records submitted to the Federal Bureau


of Investigation regarding individuals for whom a guardian has been
appointed be transmitted to the State and checked against the
statewide gun license and record database.

Several sections of the bill strengthen statutory provisions related
to the licensing of firearms, shotguns, and rifles. Section 1 amends
Criminal Procedure Law (CPL) § 330.20 to require the revocation of any
gun license from and the surrender of any gun by a defendant upon an
entry of a verdict of not responsible by reason of mental disease or
defect, upon the acceptance of a plea of not responsible by reason of
mental disease or defect, or upon a finding that a defendant is an
incapacitated person pursuant to the CPL. Section 2 adds a new section
to the CPL that requires a sentencing judge to demand surrender of a
gun license or registration and all guns possessed by the defendant
upon judgment of conviction for an offense that requires the seizure
of a gun and the revocation of a gun license or registration. Sections
4 through 16 amend the Family Court Act, the Domestic Relations Law
and the CPL to require, under certain circumstances, the mandatory
suspension or revocation of the firearms license of a person against
whom an order of protection or a temporary order of protection has
been issued.

Section 48 of the bill amends the Penal Law to require that every
county recertify a gun license holder's license every five years.
Failure to recertify during this five year period equates to
revocation of the license. The section also adds bases for denial of a
license to an applicant, including connection of a felony or serious
offense, being presently subject to an order of protection; and
expands the criteria for denial based on an applicant's history of
mental illness.

Private Sales

Under current New York law, background checks on gun purchasers are
required for all purchases of guns from gun dealers and at gun shows.
Section 17 will expand this requirement by adding a new article to the
General Business Law requiring background checks to be completed for
all gun sales, except for immediate family. Thus private sellers may
transfer a gun only if the buyer has obtained a federal "NICS" check.
Further, dealers must maintain records of private sale background
checks, and private sellers may charge a fee of up to $10 on a
transaction. Transfers between immediate family members will be exempt
from the requirements of this section.

Safe Storage

To prevent, among other things, unauthorized and unlicensed use of
guns, section 47 of the bill adds a new Penal Law § 265.45
establishing safe storage requirements for rifles, shotguns and
firearms. Under this new section, a gun owner who lives with someone
who the owner has reason to know is prohibited from possessing a gun
because the prohibited person has been convicted of a crime punishable
by a term of imprisonment exceeding one year, has been adjudicated
mentally defective or committed to a mental institution, is subject to
a court order of protection or has been convicted of a misdemeanor


crime of domestic violence whose sentence has been completed in the
last five years must, when the gun is out of the owner's immediate
control, keep the gun secured in a safe storage depository (for
example, a safe or similar secure container with a lock that can be
opened only with a key or combination, or other locking mechanism) or
render it incapable of being fired by putting a safety lock on the
gun.

Provisions Related to Persons with Mental Illness

Amendments to the Mental Hygiene Law will help ensure that persons who
are mentally ill and dangerous cannot retain or obtain a firearm.
First, mental health records that are currently sent to NIDCS for a
federal background check will also be housed in a New York State
database. A new Section 9.46 of the Mental Hygiene Law will require
mental health professionals, in the exercise of reasonable
professional judgment, to report if an individual they are treating is
likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to him- or
herself or others. A good faith decision about whether to report will
not be a basis for any criminal or civil liability. When a Section
9.46 report is made, the Division of Criminal Justice Services will
determine whether the person possesses a firearms license and, if so,
will notify the appropriate local licensing official, who must suspend
the license. The person's firearms will then be removed.

The bill extends Kendra's Law through 2017 and amends the law by:
extending the duration of the initial assisted out-patient treatment
order from 6 months to one year; requiring a review before the
assisted out-patient treatment order for a mentally ill inmate is
terminated; requiring an assisted out-patient treatment order to
follow a person from one county to another if he or she changes
residence; and will require the Office of Mental Hygiene (OMH) to
conduct an assisted out-patient treatment assessment when a state
prisoner is being discharged to the community from an OHM hospital.

New and Enhanced Criminal Penalties

Several sections of the bill create new and enhanced penalties for
illegal gun use. Sections 33 through 36, known as "Mark's Law," will
include the intentional murder of certain first responders in the
Class A-1 felonies of murder in the first degree and aggravated
murder. The mandatory penalty for a conviction of aggravated murder is
life without parole.

A new Penal Law Section 460.22, aggravated enterprise corruption,
recognizes the significant threat to public safety posed by organized
violent gangs and their illegal purchases of weapons by creating an
A-1 felony for cases when members of the enterprise commit certain
combinations of offenses. Those combinations are: first, a pattern of
criminal activity that constitutes Class B felonies or higher, and at
least two of those acts are armed felonies; or second, one act is a
Class B violent felony and two acts constitute a violation of the
newly added Section 265.17 (3) which prohibits the purchase on behalf
of or disposal of a weapon to an individual who is prohibited by law
from possessing such a weapon. This provision also addresses the issue


of "straw purchasers" where individuals who are not prohibited by law
to purchase weapons do so for others, for example, gang members who
may not possess a weapon because of a prior conviction or other
disability under law.

Section 41 increases the penalty for possession of a firearm on school
grounds or on a school bus from a misdemeanor to a Class E felony.
Section 41-a creates a new subdivision of criminal possession of a
weapon in the third degree, a Class D violent felony, when a person
possesses an unloaded firearm and also commits a drug trafficking
felony or possesses an unloaded firearm and also commits any violent
felony as part of the same criminal transaction. The mandatory minimum
sentence for these new Class D felonies is a three and one-half year
determinate sentence, although the court may consider mitigating
factors and impose a lesser sentence in some limited circumstances
involving drug trafficking.

Section 45 creates the crime of aggravated criminal possession of a
weapon, a Class C felony, which is committed when one possesses a
loaded firearm under § 255.03 of the Penal Law and also commits any
violent felony offense or a drug trafficking felony. The minimum
mandatory sentence is 5 years.

Section 32 amends Penal Law § 120.05 by adding a new subdivision 4-a
to create the crime of assault in the second degree when a person
recklessly causes physical injury to a child by the intentional
discharge of a firearm, rifle or shotgun.

Section 43 amends Penal Law § 265.17 to include criminal sale or
disposal of a weapon by providing a firearm, rifle or shotgun to a
person knowing he or she is prohibited by law from possessing such
firearm, rifle or shotgun. The penalty is raised from a Class A
misdemeanor to a Class D felony.

Section 31 adds Penal Law § 115.20 making it a Class A misdemeanor to
make available, sell, exchange, give or dispose of a community gun
that aids a person in committing a crime. A community gun is defined
as one that is made available to, among, or between two or more
persons at least one of whom is not authorized pursuant to law to
possess such firearm.

Safer Schools

The bill adds a new Section 2801-b to the Education Law to establish
New York State School Safety Improvement Teams to review, assess, and
make recommendations on School Safety Plans submitted by school
districts on a voluntary basis.  Section 3602 of the Education Law is
amended to allow school districts that purchase various security
devices included in their School Safety Plans to receive state
building aid reimbursement at a rate ten percent higher than their
current building aid ratio. Section 55 is the severability clause, and
Section 56 establishes the effective date.

EXISTING LAW:


This bill amends the Correction Law, the Criminal Procedure Law, the
Domestic Relations Law, the Executive Law, the Family Court Act, the
General Business Law, the Judiciary Law, Kendra's Law (Section 18 of
Chapter 408 of the Laws of 1999, as amended by Chapter 139 of the Laws
of 2010), the Mental Hygiene Law, the Penal Law, and the Surrogates
Court Act.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT:

In the wrong hands, guns are weapons of untold destruction and
heartbreak: family and community members are taken from us in an
instant; mass shootings shatter our sense of safety in public spaces;
street crimes plague our neighborhoods. Nationwide, gun violence
claims over 30,000 lives annually.

While the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms,
the Supreme Court has said that that right is "not unlimited."
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 595, 626 (2008). In the
Heller case, the Supreme Court explained, "nothing in our opinion
should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the
possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws
forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as
schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and
qualifications on the commercial sale of arms." 554 U.S. at 626-27.
The Court also recognized there is a "historical tradition of
prohibiting the carrying of 'dangerous and unusual' weapons."  Id.
This piece of legislation heeds the guidance of the Supreme Court by
refining and improving the assault weapon ban and increasing the
safety of New Yorkers while observing the protections of the Second
Amendment.

Some weapons are so dangerous and some ammunition devices so lethal
that we simply cannot afford to continue selling them in our state.
Assault weapons that have military-style features unnecessary for
hunting and sporting purposes are this kind of weapon. The test
adopted in this legislation is intended to bring a simplicity of
definition focusing on the lethality of the weapon, amplified by the
particular features. Given the difficulty of maintaining a list of
guns that keeps pace with changes in weapon design, the one-feature
test is a more comprehensive means for addressing these dangerous
weapons.

Ammunition

The state's previous ban against high capacity magazines faltered
because it was impossible to tell the difference between magazines
manufactured before or after the effective date of the ban. This bill
prohibits possession of all magazines with the capacity to contain
more than ten rounds, regardless of the date of manufacture. Going
forward, individuals will only be able to obtain magazines that can
contain up to seven rounds. Those who currently possess magazines that
can contain more than seven rounds will only be permitted to maintain
up to seven rounds in such magazines.

The new law also provides a mechanism to identify individuals who
purchase unusually high volumes of ammunition, either in person or


over the internet. Sellers must run the buyer's name through a State
database modeled after the federal "NICS" database to ensure the buyer
is not prohibited by law from possessing ammunition. Ammunition
sellers are also required to electronically file with the State
records of each ammunition sale, including amount sold.

In order to prevent circumvention of these new controls, this bill
requires that any seller--whether located in New York or out of
state--ship the ammunition to a dealer within New York for in-person
pick-up. The dealer is required to maintain records of the ammunition
sale and to perform a State review of disqualifiers. Direct shipment
of ammunition without a face-to-face transaction prevents a seller
from being able to adequately confirm the identity of a buyer through
the in-person inspection of a valid photo ID. Without adequate
confirmation of a buyer's identity, the benefits of background checks
and record keeping are completely circumvented. A law requiring all
ammunition sales to culminate in a face-to-face transfer, thereby
allowing for effective confirmation of purchaser identity and
corresponding background check, is consistent with this scheme.

Licensing

Currently in New York State, outside of New York City, Westchester,
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, a gun license never expires. Lack of a
renewal procedure means there is no periodic review of a licensee's
qualifications. Thus, if a license holder becomes disqualified from
carrying a gun subsequent to obtaining a license, he or she will
likely retain the license. This law requires every license holder to
recertify the licensee's gun license every five years. Failure of a
licensee to have his or her license recertified will result in
revocation of the license.

In addition, in order to ensure that legal gun license holders receive
their licenses as swiftly as possible and to ensure the swift and
accurate ability to match license holders with disqualifying events
such as a felony conviction, the bill establishes an electronic
license and record database. The electronic database will permit
regular matching by the State against records of prohibited persons
(e.g., those with criminal histories, orders of protection, and mental
illnesses that bar gun ownership and licensing) as well as against
other databases such as death records to ensure that New York's
license records are up to date.

Furthermore, orders of protection are intended to protect victims of
domestic violence from their abusers and prevent violent crimes from
occurring. This bill enhances protections for victims of domestic
violence by strengthening the provisions regarding the possession and
surrender of firearms and the suspension and revocation of, and
ineligibility for, licenses by individuals who are the respondents in
an order of protection. The bill makes changes to the Family Court Act
to conform to the 2007 amendments made to the CPL.

Private Gun Sales


Under current New York law, background checks on purchasers are
required for all purchases of guns from gun dealers and at gun shows,
however, individuals that purchase guns through private sellers are
not required to undergo background checks. This bill requires
background checks for all gun sales, including private sales, ensuring
that otherwise disqualified individuals cannot circumvent the law by
obtaining guns buying from a private seller.

Safe Storage

To prevent unauthorized possession and use of guns, this bill requires
anyone who owns a gun or who lives with someone who the owner has
reason to know is disqualified from possessing a gun under certain
provisions of federal law to secure any gun in a safe storage
depository or render it incapable of being fired by putting a safety
lock on the gun if it is to be outside the owner's direct control.

Persons with Mental Illness

This bill adds provisions to revoke or suspend licenses of individuals
with mental illness who, in the opinion of mental health professionals
would pose a danger to themselves or others should they possess guns.
The bill also extends and expands Kendra's Law to provide additional
out-patient treatment services to persons with mental illness.

New and Enhanced Criminal Penalties

The new and amended sections of the Penal Law are focused on the
methods by which gun violence is often carried out in our communities,
giving law enforcement better tools to punish and deter such conduct.
As the presence of illegal guns on our streets endangers the welfare
of entire communities, these provisions ensure appropriate penalties
for making guns available to prohibited persons, as well as putting
our children at risk by, among other dangerous and illegal activities,
possessing guns near school grounds. In addition, recognizing the
widespread violence caused by gang activity, the bill establishes
penalties for participation in gang activity resulting in the
commission of a violent crime.

The bill also contains new provisions acknowledging the danger that
our first responders face every day as they protect other New Yorkers
by establishing an enhanced penalty for knowingly causing the death of
a first responder in the course of his or her duties.

to read as follows:
  (3)  "director  of  community  services" and "local governmental unit"

chapter.  THE "APPROPRIATE DIRECTOR" SHALL MEAN THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNI-
TY SERVICES OF THE COUNTY WHERE THE ASSISTED OUTPATIENT RESIDES, EVEN IF
IT  IS  A DIFFERENT COUNTY THAN THE COUNTY WHERE THE ASSISTED OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT ORDER WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED.
  (2) If after hearing all relevant evidence, the court finds  by  clear
and  convincing  evidence  that  the  subject  of the petition meets the
criteria for assisted outpatient treatment, and there is no  appropriate
and  feasible  less  restrictive  alternative,  the  court may order the
subject to receive assisted outpatient treatment for an  initial  period
not to exceed [six months] ONE YEAR.  In fashioning the order, the court
shall  specifically  make findings by clear and convincing evidence that
the proposed treatment is the least  restrictive  treatment  appropriate
and  feasible  for the subject. The order shall state an assisted outpa-
tient treatment plan, which shall include  all  categories  of  assisted
outpatient  treatment,  as set forth in paragraph one of subdivision (a)
of this section, which the assisted outpatient is to receive, but  shall
not  include any such category that has not been recommended in both the
proposed written treatment plan and the testimony provided to the  court
pursuant to subdivision (i) of this section.
  (5)  If  the petitioner is the director of a hospital that operates an
assisted outpatient treatment program, the court order shall direct  the
hospital  director  to provide or arrange for all categories of assisted
outpatient treatment for the assisted outpatient throughout  the  period
of  the order. [For all other persons] IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES, the order
shall require the APPROPRIATE director [of  community  services  of  the
appropriate  local  governmental  unit], AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THIS
SECTION, to provide or arrange for all categories of assisted outpatient
treatment for the assisted  outpatient  throughout  the  period  of  the

EXPIRATION OF AN ORDER PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, THE APPROPRIATE  DIREC-
TOR  SHALL  REVIEW WHETHER THE ASSISTED OUTPATIENT CONTINUES TO MEET THE
CRITERIA FOR ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT. IF,  AS  DOCUMENTED  IN  THE
PETITION,  THE DIRECTOR DETERMINES THAT SUCH CRITERIA CONTINUE TO BE MET
OR HAS MADE APPROPRIATE ATTEMPTS TO, BUT  HAS  NOT  BEEN  SUCCESSFUL  IN
ELICITING,  THE  COOPERATION OF THE SUBJECT TO SUBMIT TO AN EXAMINATION,

S. 2230                            12                            A. 2388

OUTPATIENT  TREATMENT,  SUCH  DIRECTOR  MAY  PETITION THE COURT TO ORDER

THIS  SUBDIVISION. UPON DETERMINING WHETHER SUCH CRITERIA CONTINUE TO BE
MET, SUCH DIRECTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE PROGRAM COORDINATOR IN WRITING AS TO
WHETHER A  PETITION  FOR  CONTINUED  ASSISTED  OUTPATIENT  TREATMENT  IS
WARRANTED AND WHETHER SUCH A PETITION WAS OR WILL BE FILED.
  (2) Within thirty days prior to the expiration of an order of assisted
outpatient  treatment, the appropriate director or the current petition-
er, if the current petition was filed pursuant to  subparagraph  (i)  or
(ii)  of  paragraph  one  of  subdivision  (e)  of this section, and the
current petitioner retains his or her original status  pursuant  to  the
applicable  subparagraph,  may  petition  the  court  to order continued
assisted outpatient treatment for a period not to exceed one  year  from
the  expiration date of the current order. If the court's disposition of
such petition does not occur prior to the expiration date of the current
order, the current order shall remain in effect until such  disposition.
The  procedures  for  obtaining  any  order pursuant to this subdivision
shall be in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing subdivisions
of this section; provided that the time restrictions included  in  para-
graph  four  of subdivision (c) of this section shall not be applicable.
The notice provisions set forth in paragraph six of subdivision  (j)  of
this  section  shall be applicable.   Any court order requiring periodic
blood tests or urinalysis for the presence of alcohol or  illegal  drugs
shall  be subject to review after six months by the physician who devel-
oped the written treatment plan or another physician designated  by  the
director, and such physician shall be authorized to terminate such blood
tests or urinalysis without further action by the court.
  (n) Failure to comply with assisted outpatient treatment. Where in the
clinical  judgment  of  a  physician,  (i)  the assisted outpatient, has
failed or refused to comply with the assisted outpatient treatment, (ii)
efforts were made to solicit compliance, and (iii) such assisted  outpa-
tient  may be in need of involuntary admission to a hospital pursuant to
section 9.27 of this article or immediate observation, care  and  treat-
ment  pursuant  to  section 9.39 or 9.40 of this article, such physician
may request the APPROPRIATE director of community services,  the  direc-
tor's designee, or any physician designated by the director of community
services pursuant to section 9.37 of this article, to direct the removal
of  such  assisted outpatient to an appropriate hospital for an examina-
tion to determine if such person has a mental illness for  which  hospi-
talization  is  necessary pursuant to section 9.27, 9.39 or 9.40 of this
article. Furthermore, if such assisted outpatient refuses to take  medi-
cations as required by the court order, or he or she refuses to take, or
fails  a  blood test, urinalysis, or alcohol or drug test as required by
the court order, such physician may consider  such  refusal  or  failure
when  determining whether the assisted outpatient is in need of an exam-
ination to determine whether he or she has a mental  illness  for  which
hospitalization  is  necessary.  Upon the request of such physician, the
APPROPRIATE director, the director's designee, or any  physician  desig-
nated  pursuant  to section 9.37 of this article, may direct peace offi-
cers, acting pursuant to their special duties, or  police  officers  who
are  members  of  an authorized police department or force or of a sher-
iff's department to take the assisted outpatient into custody and trans-
port him or her to the hospital operating the assisted outpatient treat-
ment program or to any hospital authorized by the director of  community
services  to  receive such persons. Such law enforcement officials shall

S. 2230                            13                            A. 2388

carry out such directive. Upon the request of such physician, the APPRO-
PRIATE director, the director's designee, or  any  physician  designated
pursuant  to  section  9.37  of  this  article, an ambulance service, as
defined  by  subdivision two of section three thousand one of the public
health law, or an approved mobile crisis outreach  team  as  defined  in
section  9.58  of  this article shall be authorized to take into custody
and transport any such person to the  hospital  operating  the  assisted
outpatient treatment program, or to any other hospital authorized by the
APPROPRIATE  director of community services to receive such persons. Any
director of community services, or  designee,  shall  be  authorized  to
direct  the  removal  of an assisted outpatient who is present in his or
her county to an appropriate hospital, in accordance with the provisions
of this subdivision, based  upon  a  determination  of  the  appropriate
director  of  community  services directing the removal of such assisted
outpatient pursuant to this subdivision. Such person may be retained for
observation, care and treatment and further examination in the  hospital
for  up  to seventy-two hours to permit a physician to determine whether
such person has a mental illness and is in need of involuntary care  and
treatment  in a hospital pursuant to the provisions of this article. Any
continued involuntary retention in  such  hospital  beyond  the  initial
seventy-two  hour  period  shall be in accordance with the provisions of
this article relating to the involuntary admission and  retention  of  a
person.  If at any time during the seventy-two hour period the person is
determined  not  to  meet  the  involuntary  admission   and   retention
provisions  of  this article, and does not agree to stay in the hospital
as a voluntary or informal patient, he or she must be released.  Failure
to  comply  with  an order of assisted outpatient treatment shall not be
grounds for involuntary civil commitment or a  finding  of  contempt  of
court.

OR STATE LAW TO POSSESS A FIREARM.   Such  records  shall  include  only

had  a  guardian  appointed  for them pursuant to any provision of state
law, based on a determination that  as  a  result  of  marked  subnormal
intelligence,  mental  illness,  incapacity,  condition or disease, they
lack the mental capacity to contract or manage their  own  affairs,  and
persons  who have been involuntarily committed to a facility pursuant to

bility where such person's record and  reputation  are  such  that  such

safety.  The  commissioner shall promulgate regulations to establish the

  (2) Sentencing. Notwithstanding any other  provision  of  law  to  the
contrary, when a person is convicted of criminal use of a firearm in the
first  degree  as  defined in subdivision one of this section, the court
shall impose an additional consecutive sentence of  five  years  to  the
[minimum  term  of  an indeterminate] sentence imposed on the underlying
class B violent felony offense where the person convicted of such  crime
displays a loaded weapon from which a shot, readily capable of producing
death  or  other serious injury may be discharged, in furtherance of the
commission of  such  crime,  provided,  however,  that  such  additional
sentence  shall not be imposed if the court, having regard to the nature
and circumstances of the crime and to the history and character  of  the
defendant, finds on the record that such additional consecutive sentence
would  be  unduly  harsh  and  that  not imposing such sentence would be
consistent with the public safety and would not deprecate  the  serious-
ness  of  the crime.   Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
contrary, the aggregate of the five year consecutive term imposed pursu-
ant to this subdivision  and  the  minimum  term  of  the  indeterminate
sentence  imposed on the underlying class B violent felony shall consti-
tute the new aggregate  minimum  term  of  imprisonment,  and  a  person
subject  to  such  term  shall be required to serve the entire aggregate
minimum term and shall not be eligible for release on parole  or  condi-
tional  release during such term. This subdivision shall not apply where

the defendant's criminal liability for displaying a loaded  weapon  from

business  shall  also be a citizen of the United States, more than twen-
ty-one years of age and maintain a place of  business  in  the  city  or
county  where the license is issued. For such business, if the applicant

the requirements set forth in this subdivision and if the applicant is a
corporation, each officer thereof shall so comply.
  (a)  Applications  shall be made and renewed, in the case of a license

the  city or county, as the case may be, where the applicant resides, is
principally employed or has his OR HER principal place  of  business  as
merchant  or  storekeeper;  and, in the case of a license as gunsmith or
dealer in firearms, to the licensing officer where such place  of  busi-
ness  is  located.  Blank  applications shall, except in the city of New
York, be approved as to form by the superintendent of state police.   An
application shall state the full name, date of birth, residence, present
occupation of each person or individual signing the same, whether or not
he  OR  SHE  is a citizen of the United States, whether or not he OR SHE
complies with each requirement for eligibility specified in  subdivision

good character, competency and integrity of each  person  or  individual
signing  the application. An application shall be signed and verified by

square, and the application shall also state the previous occupation  of
each  individual  signing the same and the location of the place of such
business,  or  of the bureau, agency, subagency, office or branch office
for which the license is sought, specifying the name of the  city,  town
or  village,  indicating the street and number and otherwise giving such
apt description as to point out reasonably the location thereof. In such
case, if the applicant is a firm, partnership or corporation, its  name,
date  and  place  of formation, and principal place of business shall be
stated. For such firm or partnership, the application  shall  be  signed
and  verified  by  each individual composing or intending to compose the

  4. Investigation. Before a license is issued or renewed,  there  shall
be an investigation of all statements required in the application by the
duly  constituted police authorities of the locality where such applica-
tion is made, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SUCH RECORDS AS MAY BE ACCES-
SIBLE TO THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE OR DIVISION  OF  CRIMINAL  JUSTICE
SERVICES  PURSUANT TO SECTION 400.02 OF THIS ARTICLE.  For that purpose,
the records of the  appropriate  office  of  the  department  of  mental
hygiene  concerning  previous or present mental illness of the applicant
shall be available for inspection by the investigating  officer  of  the
police  authority.   In order to ascertain any previous criminal record,
the investigating officer  shall  take  the  fingerprints  and  physical
descriptive  data in quadruplicate of each individual by whom the appli-
cation is signed and verified. Two copies of such fingerprints shall  be
taken  on  standard  fingerprint cards eight inches square, and one copy
may be taken on a card supplied for that purpose by the  federal  bureau
of  investigation;  provided,  however,  that in the case of a corporate
applicant that has already been issued a dealer in firearms license  and
seeks  to  operate  a  firearm  dealership  at  a  second  or subsequent
location, the original fingerprints on file may be used to ascertain any
criminal record in the second or subsequent application  unless  any  of
the  corporate  officers  have  changed  since the prior application, in
which case the  new  corporate  officer  shall  comply  with  procedures
governing  an  initial application for such license. When completed, one
standard card shall be forwarded to and  retained  by  the  division  of
criminal  justice  services  in  the  executive department, at Albany. A
search of the files of such division and  written  notification  of  the
results of the search to the investigating officer shall be made without
unnecessary delay.  Thereafter, such division shall notify the licensing
officer  and the executive department, division of state police, Albany,
of any criminal record of the applicant filed therein subsequent to  the
search  of its files. A second standard card, or the one supplied by the
federal bureau of investigation, as the case may be, shall be  forwarded
to that bureau at Washington with a request that the files of the bureau
be searched and notification of the results of the search be made to the
investigating  police  authority. [The failure or refusal of the federal
bureau of investigation to make the fingerprint check  provided  for  in
this  section shall not constitute the sole basis for refusal to issue a
permit pursuant to the provisions of this section.] Of the remaining two
fingerprint cards, one shall be filed  with  the  executive  department,
division  of state police, Albany, within ten days after issuance of the
license, and the other remain on  file  with  the  investigating  police
authority.  No  such  fingerprints  may be inspected by any person other
than a peace officer, who is acting pursuant to his special duties, or a
police officer, except on order of a judge or  justice  of  a  court  of

S. 2230                            28                            A. 2388

record  either  upon  notice  to  the licensee or without notice, as the
judge or justice may deem appropriate. Upon completion of  the  investi-
gation,  the  police authority shall report the results to the licensing
officer without unnecessary delay.
  5.    Filing  of  approved applications.   (A) The application for any
license, if granted, shall be filed by the licensing  officer  with  the
clerk  of  the  county  of issuance, except that in the city of New York
and, in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, the licensing officer  shall
designate  the  place  of  filing in the appropriate division, bureau or
unit of the police department thereof, and in the county of Suffolk  the
county  clerk  is  hereby authorized to transfer all records or applica-
tions relating to firearms to the licensing authority  of  that  county.
[The]  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPHS (B) THROUGH (F) OF THIS SUBDIVI-
SION, THE name and address of any person to whom an application for  any
license has been granted shall be a public record. Upon application by a
licensee who has changed his place of residence such records or applica-
tions  shall be transferred to the appropriate officer at the licensee's
new place of residence. A duplicate copy of such  application  shall  be
filed  by the licensing officer in the executive department, division of
state police, Albany, within ten days after  issuance  of  the  license.
THE  SUPERINTENDENT  OF STATE POLICE MAY DESIGNATE THAT SUCH APPLICATION
SHALL BE TRANSMITTED TO THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE ELECTRONICALLY.  IN
THE  EVENT THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE DETERMINES
THAT IT LACKS ANY OF THE RECORDS REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE DIVISION,
IT MAY REQUEST THAT SUCH RECORDS BE PROVIDED TO IT  BY  THE  APPROPRIATE
CLERK,  DEPARTMENT  OR AUTHORITY AND SUCH CLERK, DEPARTMENT OR AUTHORITY
SHALL PROVIDE THE DIVISION WITH SUCH RECORDS. IN THE EVENT  SUCH  CLERK,
DEPARTMENT OR AUTHORITY LACKS SUCH RECORDS, THE DIVISION MAY REQUEST THE
LICENSE  HOLDER PROVIDE INFORMATION SUFFICIENT TO CONSTITUTE SUCH RECORD
AND SUCH LICENSE HOLDER SHALL PROVIDE THE DIVISION  WITH  SUCH  INFORMA-
TION.    SUCH INFORMATION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LICENSE HOLDER'S NAME,
DATE OF BIRTH, GENDER,RACE, RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS, SOCIAL SECURITY  NUMBER
AND  FIREARMS POSSESSED BY SAID LICENSE HOLDER. Nothing in this subdivi-
sion shall be construed to change the expiration date or  term  of  such
licenses  if  otherwise  provided  for  in  law.  RECORDS  ASSEMBLED  OR
COLLECTED FOR PURPOSES OF INCLUSION IN THE DATABASE ESTABLISHED BY  THIS
SECTION  SHALL BE RELEASED PURSUANT TO A COURT ORDER.  RECORDS ASSEMBLED

ance  with  a schedule to be contained in regulations promulgated by the
commissioner of the division of criminal  justice  services,  and  every
such  license  shall  be  recertified  every  five years thereafter. For
purposes of this section certification  shall  mean  that  the  licensee
shall  provide  to the licensing officer the following information only:
current name, date of birth, current address, and the make, model, cali-
ber and serial number of all firearms currently possessed. Such  certif-
ication  information shall be filed by the licensing officer in the same

tification  mark  on  such  firearm.  Before delivering a firearm to any
person, the licensee shall require him to produce either a license valid
under this section to carry or possess the  same,  or  proof  of  lawful
authority  as  an exempt person pursuant to section 265.20. In addition,
before delivering a firearm to a peace officer, the licensee shall veri-
fy that person's status as a peace officer with the  division  of  state
police.  After  completing  the foregoing, the licensee shall remove and
retain the attached coupon and enter in the record book the date of such
license, number, if any, and name of the licensing officer, in the  case
of  the  holder of a license to carry or possess, or the shield or other

to any person, and a duplicate copy shall be kept by the  licensee.  THE
SUPERINTENDENT  OF  STATE POLICE MAY DESIGNATE THAT SUCH RECORD SHALL BE
COMPLETED AND TRANSMITTED IN ELECTRONIC FORM.  A DEALER MAY BE GRANTED A
WAIVER FROM TRANSMITTING SUCH RECORDS IN ELECTRONIC FORM IF  THE  SUPER-
INTENDENT  DETERMINES THAT SUCH DEALER IS INCAPABLE OF SUCH TRANSMISSION
DUE TO TECHNOLOGICAL LIMITATIONS THAT  ARE  NOT  REASONABLY  WITHIN  THE
CONTROL  OF  THE DEALER, OR OTHER EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES DEMONSTRATED

ant to his special duties, or police officer. In the event of  cancella-
tion or revocation of the license for gunsmith or dealer in firearms, or

immediately surrendered to the licensing officer  in  the  city  of  New
York,  and  in  the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, and elsewhere in the
