6. An illegal gambling machine together with any monetary contents and any associated proceeds is contraband and may be seized by any law enforcement officer pursuant to subsection 7 or 8.

Sec. 2. 17-A MRSA §1233, as enacted by PL 1999, c. 788, §7, is amended to read:

§1233. Revocation procedures

The procedures, rights and responsibilities that apply to probation revocation under sections 1205 to 1208, including bail under section 1205, subsection 8 1205-C, subsections 5 and 6 and appellate review of revocation under section 1207, apply to revocation of supervised release.

SUMMARY

The 121st Legislature amended the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, section 959 regarding illegal gambling machines to give the State the authority to order forfeiture of "any associated proceeds" of an illegal gambling machine. However, parallel changes to the procedural provisions in Title 17-A, section 959, subsections 3, 4, 5 and 6 were not made. This bill corrects the omission.

This bill also replaces an outdated reference to former Title 17-A, section 1205, subsection 8 with a reference to current section 1205-C, subsections 5 and 6. Former Title 17-A, section 1205, subsection 8 was repealed by Public Law 1999, chapter 246.
