The bill amends the existing law regulating the licensing of concealed pistol carry in Michigan, specifically focusing on the renewal process for such licenses. It establishes that a license is valid until the applicant's date of birth that falls not less than 4 years or more than 5 years after issuance. The county clerk is required to notify the licensee of the impending expiration of their license, and the renewal application fee is reduced from $115.00 to $30.00. The bill also allows for online submission of renewal applications and mandates that the Department of State Police provide a system for this by a specified date.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding the applicant's identification, changing references from "his or her" to "the applicant's" and "his or her" to "the individual's" throughout the text. It also clarifies that individuals carrying a concealed pistol after their license has expired must keep the receipt issued during the renewal process along with their expired license. The educational requirements for renewal applicants are adjusted, allowing certain exemptions for retired law enforcement officers and simplifying the certification process for training completion. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the renewal process and reduce costs for applicants while maintaining necessary regulatory measures.
