Sec. 3. 19-A MRSA §4007, sub-§1-A is enacted to read:

 
1-A.__No possession of firearm or dangerous weapons for
duration of order.__If the court prohibits the defendant from
possessing a dangerous weapon other than a firearm, the court
shall specify the type of weapon the defendant is prohibited from
possessing.

 
If the court prohibits the defendant from possessing a firearm or
other dangerous weapon, the court shall direct the defendant to
relinquish, within 24 hours after service of the order on the
defendant or such earlier time as the court specifies in the
order, all firearms and specified dangerous weapons in the
possession of the defendant to a law enforcement officer or other
individual for the duration of the order.__If the weapons are
relinquished to an individual other than a law enforcement
officer, the defendant must file, within 24 hours after such
relinquishment, with the court or local law enforcement agency
designated in the order a written statement that contains the
name and address of the individual holding the weapons and a
description of all weapons held by that individual.__The court
may subsequently issue a search warrant authorizing a law
enforcement officer to seize any firearms and other dangerous
weapons at any location if there is probable cause to believe
such firearms or dangerous weapons have not been relinquished by
the defendant.
