THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

     Sec. 5l. (1) A license to carry a concealed pistol issued

before July 1, 2003 is valid for 3 years and a license to carry a

concealed pistol issued on or after July 1, 2003 is valid for 5

years. A renewal of a license under section 5b shall, except as

provided in this section, be issued in the same manner as an

original license issued under section 5b.

     (2) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) are

waived for an applicant who is a retired police officer or retired

law enforcement officer.

     (3) The educational requirements under section 5b(7)(c) for an

applicant who is applying for a renewal of a license under this act

are waived except that the applicant shall certify that he or she

has completed at least 3 hours' review of the training described

under section 5b(7)(c) and has had at least 1 hour of firing range

time in the 6 months immediately preceding the subsequent

application.

(4) The concealed weapon licensing board shall issue or deny

issuance of a renewal license within 60 days after the application

for renewal is properly submitted. The county clerk shall issue the

applicant a receipt for his or her renewal application at the time

the application is submitted. The receipt shall state the time and

date of application. If the concealed weapon licensing board does

not issue or deny issuance of a renewal license within the 60-day

period, the period for the original license is extended for 180

days or until a renewal license is issued or denied, whichever

occurs first. A person carrying a concealed pistol pursuant to this

subsection after the expiration date of his or her license shall

keep the receipt issued by the county clerk and his or her expired

license in his or her possession at all times that he or she is

carrying the pistol. For the purposes of this act, the receipt is

House Bill No. 4643 (H-1) as amended July 13, 2005

considered to be part of the license to carry a concealed pistol

until a renewal license is issued or denied. Failing to have the

receipt and expired license in possession while carrying a

concealed pistol or failing to display the receipt to a peace

officer upon request is a violation of this act.  [A receipt issued under

this subsection shall contain all of the following:

    (a) The name of the licensee.

    (b) The date the receipt is issued.

    (c) The amount paid.

    (d) A statement that the receipt is for a license renewal.

    (e) The name of the county in which the receipt is issued.

     (f) An impression of the county seal.]
