(1) On receiving the report, the Solicitor must conduct an independent review of the facts and circumstances surrounding the seizure.

(2) If the Solicitor finds sufficient evidence that the alleged replica gun was in violation of this subtitle, the Solicitor must notify the replica gun's owner, by registered or certified mail, of the seizure and of the owners right to seek the return of the replica gun under § 39-7 {"Judicial review"} of this subtitle.
