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 and the renewal process, which can now be done online or by mail. The application fee for renewal is reduced from $115.00 to $30.00, and the bill specifies that no additional fees or charges are required beyond this amount.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for applicants whose licenses are expired, allowing them to carry a receipt as a temporary license until a renewal or disqualification notice is issued. It also waives certain educational requirements for retired law enforcement officers and simplifies the renewal process by eliminating the need for fingerprinting if the applicant's fingerprints are already maintained in the state police database. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the renewal process and reduce costs for individuals seeking to carry concealed pistols in Michigan.
