269UB—Continuing supervision orders

        (1)         If, under section 269UA, the Supreme Court declares a defendant to be liable to continuing supervision, the Court may make an order (a "continuing supervision order )—

            (a)         committing the defendant to detention under this Subdivision; or

            (b)         releasing the defendant on licence.

        (2)         If a continuing supervision order is made releasing the defendant on licence, the licence is subject to the following conditions:

            (a)         the conditions imposed by subsection (3);

            (b)         any other condition decided by the Court and specified in the licence.

        (3)         Subject to this Act, every licence under this Subdivision is subject to the following conditions:

            (a)         a condition prohibiting the defendant from possessing a firearm or ammunition (both within the meaning of the Firearms Act 2015 ) or any part of a firearm;

            (b)         a condition requiring the defendant to submit to such tests (including testing without notice) for gunshot residue as may be reasonably required by a person or body specified by the Court.

        (4)         Without limiting the generality of subsection (2)(b), release on licence under a continuing supervision order may, for example, be subject to—

            (a)         a condition that the defendant reside at specified premises; or

            (b)         a condition that the defendant undergo assessment or treatment (or both) relating to the defendant's mental condition; or

            (c)         a condition that the defendant be monitored by use of an electronic device approved under section 4 of the Correctional Services Act 1982 ; or

            (d)         any other condition that the Court thinks fit.

        (5)         The Court may only vary or revoke the conditions imposed by subsection (3) if the defendant satisfies the Court, by evidence given on oath, that—

            (a)         there are cogent reasons to do so; and

            (b)         the possession of a firearm, ammunition or part of a firearm by the defendant does not represent an undue risk to the safety of the public.

        (6)         A continuing supervision order remains in force against the defendant until the order is revoked by the Court.
