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 or renewal. The county clerk is required to notify the licensee of the impending expiration of their license using the licensee's last known address. The renewal application fee is reduced from $115.00 to $30.00, and the bill mandates that the county treasurer deposit this fee into the county's concealed pistol licensing fund. Additionally, the bill allows for online renewal applications and specifies that a receipt issued during the renewal process serves as a temporary license until a new license or notice of disqualification is issued.

The bill also modifies certain language for clarity, such as changing "his or her" to "the applicant's" and "his or her license" to "the licensee's license." It waives educational requirements for retired law enforcement officers and allows applicants to certify completion of training without needing to provide verification. Furthermore, it stipulates that applicants for renewal are not required to submit fingerprints again if their previous fingerprints are maintained in the state police's automated fingerprint identification system. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the renewal process and reduce costs for individuals seeking to carry concealed pistols in Michigan.
