262 sheriff of the county where the respondent resides or can be
263 found, who shall serve it upon the respondent as soon thereafter
264 as possible on any day of the week and at any time of the day or
265 night. When requested by the sheriff, the clerk of the court may
266 transmit a facsimile copy of a temporary ex parte risk
267 protection order or a risk protection order that has been
268 certified by the clerk of the court, and this facsimile copy may
269 be served in the same manner as a certified copy. Upon receiving
270 a facsimile copy, the sheriff must verify receipt with the
271 sender before attempting to serve it upon the respondent. The
272 clerk of the court shall be responsible for furnishing to the
273 sheriff information on the respondent’s physical description and
274 location. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
275 contrary, the chief judge of each circuit, in consultation with
276 the appropriate sheriff, may authorize a law enforcement agency
277 within the jurisdiction to effect service. A law enforcement
278 agency effecting service pursuant to this section shall use
279 service and verification procedures consistent with those of the
280 sheriff. Service under this section takes precedence over the
281 service of other documents, unless the other documents are of a
282 similar emergency nature.
283 (b) All orders issued, changed, continued, extended, or
284 vacated after the original service of documents specified in
285 paragraph (a) must be certified by the clerk of the court and
286 delivered to the parties at the time of the entry of the order.
287 The parties may acknowledge receipt of such order in writing on
288 the face of the original order. If a party fails or refuses to
289 acknowledge the receipt of a certified copy of an order, the
290 clerk shall note on the original order that service was
291 effected. If delivery at the hearing is not possible, the clerk
292 shall mail certified copies of the order to the parties at the
293 last known address of each party. Service by mail is complete
294 upon mailing. When an order is served pursuant to this
295 subsection, the clerk shall prepare a written certification to
296 be placed in the court file specifying the time, date, and
297 method of service and shall notify the sheriff.
298 (6) TERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF ORDERS.—
299 (a) The respondent may submit one written request for a
300 hearing to vacate a risk protection order issued under this
301 section, starting after the date of the issuance of the order,
302 and may request another hearing after every extension of the
303 order, if any.
304 1. Upon receipt of the request for a hearing to vacate a
305 risk protection order, the court shall set a date for a hearing.
306 Notice of the request must be served on the petitioner in
307 accordance with subsection (5). The hearing must occur no sooner
308 than 14 days and no later than 30 days after the date of service
309 of the request upon the petitioner.
310 2. The respondent shall have the burden of proving by clear
311 and convincing evidence that the respondent does not pose a
312 significant danger of causing personal injury to himself or
313 herself or others by having in his or her custody or control,
314 purchasing, possessing, or receiving a firearm or ammunition.
315 The court may consider any relevant evidence, including evidence
316 of the considerations listed in paragraph (3)(c).
317 3. If the court finds after the hearing that the respondent
318 has met his or her burden of proof, the court must vacate the
319 order.
320 4. The law enforcement agency holding any firearm or
321 ammunition or license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm
322 that has been surrendered pursuant to this section shall be
323 notified of the court order to vacate the risk protection order.
324 (b) The court must notify the petitioner of the impending
325 end of a risk protection order. Notice must be received by the
326 petitioner at least 30 days before the date the order ends.
327 (c) The petitioner may, by motion, request an extension of
328 a risk protection order at any time within 30 days before the
329 end of the order.
330 1. Upon receipt of the motion to extend, the court shall
331 order that a hearing be held no later than 14 days after the
332 date the order is issued and shall schedule such hearing.
333 a. The court may schedule a hearing by telephone in the
334 manner provided by subparagraph (3)(a)3.
335 b. The respondent must be personally served in the same
336 manner provided by subsection (5).
337 2. In determining whether to extend a risk protection order
338 issued under this section, the court may consider all relevant
339 evidence, including evidence of the considerations listed in
340 paragraph (3)(c).
341 3. If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that
342 the requirements for issuance of a risk protection order as
343 provided in subsection (3) continue to be met, the court must
344 extend the order. However, if, after notice, the motion for
345 extension is uncontested and no modification of the order is
346 sought, the order may be extended on the basis of a motion or
347 affidavit stating that there has been no material change in
348 relevant circumstances since entry of the order and stating the
349 reason for the requested extension.
350 4. The court may extend a risk protection order for a
351 period that it deems appropriate, up to and including but not
352 exceeding 12 months, subject to an order to vacate as provided
353 in paragraph (a) or to another extension order by the court.
354 (7) SURRENDER OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.—
355 (a) Upon issuance of a risk protection order under this
356 section, including a temporary ex parte risk protection order,
357 the court shall order the respondent to surrender to the local
358 law enforcement agency all firearms and ammunition owned by the
359 respondent in the respondent’s custody, control, or possession
360 except as provided in subsection (9), and any license to carry a
361 concealed weapon or firearm issued under s. 790.06.
362 (b) The law enforcement officer serving a risk protection
363 order under this section, including a temporary ex parte risk
364 protection order, shall request that the respondent immediately
365 surrender all firearms and ammunition owned by the respondent in
366 his or her custody, control, or possession and any license to
367 carry a concealed weapon or firearm issued under s. 790.06. The
368 law enforcement officer shall take possession of all firearms
369 and ammunition owned by the respondent which are surrendered.
370 Alternatively, if personal service by a law enforcement officer
371 is not possible or is not required because the respondent was
372 present at the risk protection order hearing, the respondent
373 must surrender any firearms, ammunition, and license to carry a
374 concealed weapon or firearm owned by the respondent in a safe
375 manner to the control of the local law enforcement agency
376 immediately after being served with the order by service or
377 immediately after the hearing at which the respondent was
378 present. Notwithstanding ss. 933.02 and 933.18, a law
379 enforcement officer may seek a search warrant from a court of
380 competent jurisdiction to conduct a search for firearms or
381 ammunition owned by the respondent if the officer has probable
382 cause to believe that there are firearms or ammunition owned by
383 the respondent in the respondent’s custody, control, or
384 possession which have not been surrendered.
385 (c) At the time of surrender, a law enforcement officer
386 taking possession of a firearm, any ammunition, or a license to
387 carry a concealed weapon or firearm owned by the respondent
388 shall issue a receipt identifying all firearms and the quantity
389 and type of ammunition that have been surrendered and shall
390 provide a copy of the receipt to the respondent. Within 72 hours
391 after service of the order, the law enforcement officer serving
392 the order shall file the original receipt with the court and
393 shall ensure that his or her law enforcement agency retains a
394 copy of the receipt.
395 (d) Notwithstanding ss. 933.02 and 933.18, upon the sworn
396 statement or testimony of any person alleging that the
397 respondent has failed to comply with the surrender of firearms
398 or ammunition that he or she owns as required by an order issued
399 under this section, the court shall determine whether probable
400 cause exists to believe that the respondent has failed to
401 surrender all firearms or ammunition that he or she owns in his
402 or her custody, control, or possession. If the court finds that
403 probable cause exists, the court must issue a warrant describing
404 the firearms or ammunition and authorizing a search of the
405 locations where the firearms or ammunition owned by the
406 respondent are reasonably believed to be found and the seizure
407 of any firearms or ammunition discovered pursuant to such
408 search.
409 (e) If a person other than the respondent claims title to
410 any firearms or ammunition surrendered pursuant to this section
411 and he or she is determined by the law enforcement agency to be
412 the lawful owner of the firearm or ammunition, the firearm or
413 ammunition shall be returned to him or her, if:
414 1. The lawful owner agrees to store the firearm or
415 ammunition in a manner such that the respondent does not have
416 access to or control of the firearm or ammunition.
417 2. The firearm or ammunition is not otherwise unlawfully
418 possessed by the owner.
419 (f) Upon the issuance of a risk protection order, the court
420 shall order a new hearing date and require the respondent to
421 appear no later than 3 business days after the issuance of the
422 order. The court shall require proof that the respondent has
423 surrendered any firearms or ammunition in his or her custody,
424 control, or possession. The court may cancel the hearing upon a
425 satisfactory showing that the respondent is in compliance with
426 the order.
427 (g) All law enforcement agencies must develop policies and
428 procedures by January 1, 2019, regarding the acceptance,
429 storage, and return of firearms, ammunition, or licenses
430 required to be surrendered under this section.
431 (8) RETURN AND DISPOSAL OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.—
432 (a) If a risk protection order is vacated or ends without
433 extension, a law enforcement agency holding a firearm or any
434 ammunition that has been surrendered or seized pursuant to this
435 section must return such surrendered firearm or ammunition
436 requested by a respondent only after confirming through a
437 background check that the respondent is currently eligible to
438 own or possess firearms and ammunition under federal and state
439 law and after confirming with the court that the risk protection
440 order has been vacated or has ended without extension.
441 (b) If a risk protection order is vacated or ends without
442 extension, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
443 if it has suspended a license to carry a concealed weapon or
444 firearm pursuant to this section, must reinstate such license
445 only after confirming that the respondent is currently eligible
446 to have a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm
447 pursuant to s. 790.06.
448 (c) A law enforcement agency must provide notice to any
449 family or household members of the respondent before the return
450 of any surrendered firearm and ammunition.
451 (d) Any firearm and ammunition surrendered by a respondent
452 pursuant to subsection (7) which remains unclaimed by the lawful
453 owner after an order to vacate the risk protection order shall
454 be disposed of in accordance with the law enforcement agency’s
455 policies and procedures for the disposal of firearms in police
456 custody.
457 (9) TRANSFER OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION.—A respondent may
458 elect to transfer all firearms and ammunition that have been
459 surrendered to or seized by a local law enforcement agency
460 pursuant to subsection (7) to another person who is willing to
461 receive the respondent’s firearms and ammunition. The law
462 enforcement agency may allow such a transfer only if it is
463 determined that the chosen recipient:
464 (a) Currently is eligible to own or possess a firearm and
465 ammunition under federal and state law after confirmation
466 through a background check;
467 (b) Attests to storing the firearms and ammunition in a
468 manner such that the respondent does not have access to or
469 control of the firearms and ammunition until the risk protection
470 order against the respondent is vacated or ends without
471 extension; and
472 (c) Attests not to transfer the firearms or ammunition back
473 to the respondent until the risk protection order against the
474 respondent is vacated or ends without extension.
475 (10) REPORTING OF ORDERS.—
