   18  The  procedures  for  obtaining  any  order pursuant to this subdivision

   27  director, and such physician shall be authorized to terminate such blood
   28  tests or urinalysis without further action by the court.
   29    (n) Failure to comply with assisted outpatient treatment. Where in the
   30  clinical  judgment  of  a  physician,  (i)  the assisted outpatient, has
   31  failed or refused to comply with the assisted outpatient treatment, (ii)
   32  efforts were made to solicit compliance, and (iii) such assisted  outpa-
   33  tient  may be in need of involuntary admission to a hospital pursuant to
   34  section 9.27 of this article or immediate observation, care  and  treat-
   35  ment  pursuant  to  section 9.39 or 9.40 of this article, such physician
   36  may request the APPROPRIATE director of community services,  the  direc-
   37  tor's designee, or any physician designated by the director of community
   38  services pursuant to section 9.37 of this article, to direct the removal
   39  of  such  assisted outpatient to an appropriate hospital for an examina-
   40  tion to determine if such person has a mental illness for  which  hospi-
   41  talization  is  necessary pursuant to section 9.27, 9.39 or 9.40 of this
   42  article. Furthermore, if such assisted outpatient refuses to take  medi-
   43  cations as required by the court order, or he or she refuses to take, or
   44  fails  a  blood test, urinalysis, or alcohol or drug test as required by
   45  the court order, such physician may consider  such  refusal  or  failure
   46  when  determining whether the assisted outpatient is in need of an exam-
   47  ination to determine whether he or she has a mental  illness  for  which
   48  hospitalization  is  necessary.  Upon the request of such physician, the
   49  APPROPRIATE director, the director's designee, or any  physician  desig-
   50  nated  pursuant  to section 9.37 of this article, may direct peace offi-
   51  cers, acting pursuant to their special duties, or  police  officers  who
   52  are  members  of  an authorized police department or force or of a sher-
   53  iff's department to take the assisted outpatient into custody and trans-
   54  port him or her to the hospital operating the assisted outpatient treat-
   55  ment program or to any hospital authorized by the director of  community
   56  services  to  receive such persons. Such law enforcement officials shall
       S. 2230                            13                            A. 2388
    1  carry out such directive. Upon the request of such physician, the APPRO-
    2  PRIATE director, the director's designee, or  any  physician  designated
    3  pursuant  to  section  9.37  of  this  article, an ambulance service, as
    4  defined  by  subdivision two of section three thousand one of the public
    5  health law, or an approved mobile crisis outreach  team  as  defined  in
    6  section  9.58  of  this article shall be authorized to take into custody
    7  and transport any such person to the  hospital  operating  the  assisted
    8  outpatient treatment program, or to any other hospital authorized by the
    9  APPROPRIATE  director of community services to receive such persons. Any
   10  director of community services, or  designee,  shall  be  authorized  to
   11  direct  the  removal  of an assisted outpatient who is present in his or
   12  her county to an appropriate hospital, in accordance with the provisions
   13  of this subdivision, based  upon  a  determination  of  the  appropriate
   14  director  of  community  services directing the removal of such assisted
   15  outpatient pursuant to this subdivision. Such person may be retained for
   16  observation, care and treatment and further examination in the  hospital
   17  for  up  to seventy-two hours to permit a physician to determine whether
   18  such person has a mental illness and is in need of involuntary care  and
   19  treatment  in a hospital pursuant to the provisions of this article. Any
   20  continued involuntary retention in  such  hospital  beyond  the  initial
   21  seventy-two  hour  period  shall be in accordance with the provisions of
   22  this article relating to the involuntary admission and  retention  of  a
   23  person.  If at any time during the seventy-two hour period the person is
   24  determined  not  to  meet  the  involuntary  admission   and   retention
   25  provisions  of  this article, and does not agree to stay in the hospital
   26  as a voluntary or informal patient, he or she must be released.  Failure
   27  to  comply  with  an order of assisted outpatient treatment shall not be
   28  grounds for involuntary civil commitment or a  finding  of  contempt  of
   29  court.

   33    S  42.  Subdivision  2 of section 265.09 of the penal law, as added by
   34  chapter 650 of the laws of 1996, is amended to read as follows:
   35    (2) Sentencing. Notwithstanding any other  provision  of  law  to  the
   36  contrary, when a person is convicted of criminal use of a firearm in the
   37  first  degree  as  defined in subdivision one of this section, the court
   38  shall impose an additional consecutive sentence of  five  years  to  the
   39  [minimum  term  of  an indeterminate] sentence imposed on the underlying
   40  class B violent felony offense where the person convicted of such  crime
   41  displays a loaded weapon from which a shot, readily capable of producing
   42  death  or  other serious injury may be discharged, in furtherance of the
   43  commission of  such  crime,  provided,  however,  that  such  additional
   44  sentence  shall not be imposed if the court, having regard to the nature
   45  and circumstances of the crime and to the history and character  of  the
   46  defendant, finds on the record that such additional consecutive sentence
   47  would  be  unduly  harsh  and  that  not imposing such sentence would be
   48  consistent with the public safety and would not deprecate  the  serious-
   49  ness  of  the crime.   Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
   50  contrary, the aggregate of the five year consecutive term imposed pursu-
   51  ant to this subdivision  and  the  minimum  term  of  the  indeterminate
   52  sentence  imposed on the underlying class B violent felony shall consti-
   53  tute the new aggregate  minimum  term  of  imprisonment,  and  a  person
   54  subject  to  such  term  shall be required to serve the entire aggregate
   55  minimum term and shall not be eligible for release on parole  or  condi-
   56  tional  release during such term. This subdivision shall not apply where

    1  the defendant's criminal liability for displaying a loaded  weapon  from
    2  which a shot, readily capable of producing death or other serious injury
    3  may be discharged, in furtherance of the commission of crime is based on
    4  the conduct of another pursuant to section 20.00 of [the penal law] THIS
    5  CHAPTER.

   13  lawfully  possess a firearm, rifle or shotgun in this state, such person
   14  [attempts to purchase] PURCHASES a firearm, rifle or shotgun from anoth-
   15  er person; or

   20  hygiene  concerning  previous or present mental illness of the applicant
   21  shall be available for inspection by the investigating  officer  of  the
   22  police  authority.   In order to ascertain any previous criminal record,
   23  the investigating officer  shall  take  the  fingerprints  and  physical
   24  descriptive  data in quadruplicate of each individual by whom the appli-
   25  cation is signed and verified. Two copies of such fingerprints shall  be
   26  taken  on  standard  fingerprint cards eight inches square, and one copy
   27  may be taken on a card supplied for that purpose by the  federal  bureau
   28  of  investigation;  provided,  however,  that in the case of a corporate
   29  applicant that has already been issued a dealer in firearms license  and
   30  seeks  to  operate  a  firearm  dealership  at  a  second  or subsequent
   31  location, the original fingerprints on file may be used to ascertain any
   32  criminal record in the second or subsequent application  unless  any  of
   33  the  corporate  officers  have  changed  since the prior application, in
   34  which case the  new  corporate  officer  shall  comply  with  procedures
   35  governing  an  initial application for such license. When completed, one
   36  standard card shall be forwarded to and  retained  by  the  division  of
   37  criminal  justice  services  in  the  executive department, at Albany. A
   38  search of the files of such division and  written  notification  of  the
   39  results of the search to the investigating officer shall be made without
   40  unnecessary delay.  Thereafter, such division shall notify the licensing
   41  officer  and the executive department, division of state police, Albany,
   42  of any criminal record of the applicant filed therein subsequent to  the

   41  FIREARMS.  THE FORM MAY BE IN AN ELECTRONIC FORM IF SO DESIGNATED BY THE
   42  SUPERINTENDENT OF STATE POLICE. FAILURE TO  RECERTIFY  SHALL  ACT  AS  A
   43  REVOCATION  OF SUCH LICENSE.  IF THE NEW YORK STATE POLICE DISCOVER AS A
   44  RESULT OF THE RECERTIFICATION PROCESS THAT A LICENSEE FAILED TO  PROVIDE
   45  A  CHANGE  OF  ADDRESS,  THE NEW YORK STATE POLICE SHALL NOT REQUIRE THE
   46  LICENSING OFFICER TO REVOKE SUCH LICENSE.
   47    11. License: revocation and suspension. (A) The conviction of a licen-
   48  see anywhere of a felony or serious offense OR A LICENSEE  AT  ANY  TIME

    4  shall give written notice thereof without unnecessary delay to the exec-
    5  utive department, division of state police, Albany, and shall also noti-
    6  fy immediately the duly constituted police authorities of the locality.
    7    (B) WHENEVER THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES OR HIS OR HER DESIGNEE
    8  MAKES  A  REPORT PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.46 OF THE MENTAL HYGIENE LAW, THE
    9  DIVISION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES  SHALL  CONVEY  SUCH  INFORMATION,

   11  LICENSE ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, TO  THE  APPROPRIATE  LICENSING
   12  OFFICIAL, WHO SHALL ISSUE AN ORDER SUSPENDING OR REVOKING SUCH LICENSE.

   23  ALL SUCH WEAPONS.
   24    12.  Records required of gunsmiths and dealers in firearms. Any person
   25  licensed as gunsmith or dealer in firearms  shall  keep  a  record  book
   26  approved  as to form, except in the city of New York, by the superinten-

   47  COMPLETED AND TRANSMITTED IN ELECTRONIC FORM.  A DEALER MAY BE GRANTED A
   48  WAIVER FROM TRANSMITTING SUCH RECORDS IN ELECTRONIC FORM IF  THE  SUPER-
   49  INTENDENT  DETERMINES THAT SUCH DEALER IS INCAPABLE OF SUCH TRANSMISSION
