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 license that is renewed before the immediately preceding
license term expires, but not more than 1 year before the
immediately preceding license term expires, shall bear an issue
date that is identical to the expiration date of the preceding
license. 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 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.
(3) If the concealed weapon licensing board fails to deny or
issue a renewal license to the person within 60 days as required
under subsection (2), the expiration date of the current license is
extended by 180 days or until the renewal license is issued,
whichever occurs first. This subsection does not apply unless the
person pays the renewal fee at the time the renewal application is
submitted and the person has submitted a receipt that confirms that
a background check has been requested by the applicant.
(4) A person carrying a concealed pistol after the expiration
date of his or her license pursuant to an extension under
subsection (3) 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 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.
(5) (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.
(6) (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.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect July 1,
2006.
