3. If the person placed on administrative release fails to appear in court after having been served with a summons, the court may issue a warrant for the arrest of the person. After arrest of the person, the court shall afford the person a preliminary hearing an initial appearance as provided in section 1205 1205-C, subsection 4, and, if retained in custody, section 1205-C, subsection 3 applies.

4. If the person placed on administrative release can be located and served a summons, the attorney for the State may not commence the administrative release proceeding by having the person arrested. However, if the person can not, with due diligence, be located, the attorney for the State shall file a written notice of this fact with the court and obtain a warrant of arrest under Rule 41 of the Maine Rules of Criminal Procedure. If during the period of administrative release the attorney for the State has probable cause to believe that the person placed on administrative release has violated a requirement of administrative release, the attorney for the State may apply for a warrant for the arrest of the person. Unless sooner released, the court shall provide the person with an initial appearance on the revocation of administrative release within 14 days after arrest. A copy of the motion must be furnished to the person prior to or at the initial appearance. The initial appearance is as provided in section 1205-C, subsection 4. Bail is as provided in section 1205-C, subsections 5 and 6.

Sec. 19. 19-A MRSA §4002, sub-§4, as amended by PL 2003, c. 672, §16, is further amended to read:

4. Family or household members. "Family or household members" means spouses or domestic partners or former spouses or former domestic partners, individuals presently or formerly living together as spouses, natural parents of the same child, adult household members related by consanguinity or affinity or minor children of a household member when the defendant is an adult household member and, for the purposes of this chapter and Title 17-A, sections 1201, 1202 and 1253 only, includes individuals presently or formerly living together and individuals who are or were sexual partners. Holding oneself out to be a spouse is not necessary to constitute "living as spouses." For purposes of this subsection, "domestic partners" means 2 unmarried adults who are domiciled together under long-term arrangements that evidence a commitment to remain responsible indefinitely for each other's welfare.
