Relates to issuance of warrants for seizures of firearms in supreme court and family court

Bill A 8406 modifies procedures for seizing firearms in cases handled by Family Court and Supreme Court, particularly those involving orders of protection. It allows local criminal courts to issue firearm seizure orders when Family Court is not in session, upon request from a petitioner, police, or other public servant. The bill clarifies that courts *must* order immediate seizure and search if an individual subject to an order of protection willfully refuses to surrender a firearm, or *may* do so for other good cause. Additionally, it enables the party seeking protection to apply directly for such a seizure order, and updates terminology from "defendant" to "respondent" or "party" throughout the relevant statutes.
