     1  arson in the fifth degree, or attempt to commit any of the  above-listed
     2  offenses,  the  people  may,  at arraignment or no later than forty-five
     3  days after arraignment, serve on the defendant and file with the court a
     4  notice  alleging  that  the  defendant  and the person alleged to be the
     5  victim of such crime were members of the same  family  or  household  as
     6  defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this chapter.
     7    2.  Such notice shall include the name of the person alleged to be the
     8  victim of such crime  and  shall  specify  the  nature  of  the  alleged
     9  relationship  as  set forth in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this
    10  chapter. Upon conviction of such offense, the  court  shall  advise  the
    11  defendant  that he or she is entitled to a hearing solely on the allega-
    12  tion contained in the notice and, if necessary, an  adjournment  of  the
    13  sentencing  proceeding in order to prepare for such hearing, and that if
    14  such allegation is sustained, that determination and conviction will  be
    15  reported to the division of criminal justice services.
    16    3.  After  having been advised by the court as provided in subdivision
    17  two of this section, the defendant may stipulate or admit, orally on the
    18  record or in writing, that he or she  is  related  or  situated  to  the
    19  victim  of such crime in the manner described in subdivision one of this
    20  section. In such case, such relationship shall  be  deemed  established.
    21  If  the  defendant  denies  that he or she is related or situated to the
    22  victim of the crime as alleged in the notice served by  the  people,  or
    23  stands  mute with respect to such allegation, then the people shall bear
    24  the burden to prove beyond a reasonable  doubt  that  the  defendant  is
    25  related  or  situated to the victim in the manner alleged in the notice.
    26  The court may consider reliable hearsay  evidence  submitted  by  either
    27  party  provided  that it is relevant to the determination of the allega-
    28  tion. Facts previously proven at trial or elicited at the time of  entry
    29  of  a  plea  of  guilty  shall be deemed established beyond a reasonable
    30  doubt and shall not be relitigated. At the conclusion of the hearing, or
    31  upon such a stipulation or admission, as  applicable,  the  court  shall
    32  make a specific written determination with respect to such allegation.

    47  defined in subdivision one of section 530.11 of this chapter, the  clerk

    21  firearm,  rifle  or shotgun not otherwise disposed of in accordance with
    22  subdivision six of section 400.05 of the penal law.   When issuing  such
    23  order  in  connection  with any firearm subject to a license requirement

    34  suspension or ineligibility has been issued pursuant  to  this  section,
    35  any  temporary  order  of protection or order of protection issued shall
    36  state that such firearm license has been suspended or  revoked  or  that
    37  the  defendant  is  ineligible for such license, as the case may be, and
    38  that the defendant is prohibited from possessing any firearm,  rifle  or
    39  shotgun.
    40    (b) The court revoking or suspending the license, ordering the defend-
    41  ant  ineligible  for  such  a  license, or ordering the surrender of any
    42  firearm, rifle or shotgun shall immediately notify the duly  constituted
    43  police  authorities  of  the locality concerning such action and, in the
    44  case of orders of protection and temporary orders of  protection  issued
    45  pursuant to section 530.12 of this article, shall immediately notify the
    46  statewide registry of orders of protection.
    47    (c)  The  court  revoking  or  suspending  the license or ordering the
    48  defendant ineligible for such a license shall give written notice there-
    49  of without unnecessary delay to the division  of  state  police  at  its
    50  office in the city of Albany.

    52  der  is  modified  or  vacated,  the  court shall immediately notify the
    53  statewide registry of orders of  protection  and  the  duly  constituted

     3  order  issued  pursuant  to  this section, provided that nothing in this
     4  subdivision shall preclude the court from issuing any such  order  prior
     5  to  a hearing. Where the court has issued such an order prior to a hear-
     6  ing, it shall commence such hearing within fourteen  days  of  the  date
     7  such order was issued.
     8    8. Nothing in this section shall delay or otherwise interfere with the
     9  issuance of a temporary order of protection or the timely arraignment of
    10  a defendant in custody.
