Here is the Mental Hygiene provision:
The Safe Act added a new section 9.46 to the Mental Hygiene Law that requires a mental health professional to report, as soon as practicable, to his or her director of community services, any person under his or her care if the professional believes such person is likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others.
The director of community services must, if he or she agrees with this determination, report the subject person to DCJS personnel, who will make an initial screening to determine if the subject potentially has a NYS-issued firearms license or has applied for one. If so, DCJS will notify the State Police to confirm the existence of the license and the licensing authority will be notified so they can make a determination as to whether to suspend or revoke the subjects license.
The licensing authority, and the appropriate local law enforcement agency, will handle the suspension and the recovery of any weapons in the same manner as they do now in the event the licensing authority revokes a firearms license.
