The bill amends the existing law regulating the licensing and carrying of firearms in Michigan, specifically focusing on the exemptions for obtaining a concealed pistol license. It clarifies that the licensing requirements do not apply to various categories of individuals, including peace officers, constables, corrections employees, military personnel, and individuals from other states who are licensed to carry concealed pistols. The bill also introduces new language to replace gender-specific pronouns with gender-neutral terms, ensuring inclusivity in the legal text.

Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals carrying a pistol unloaded in a wrapper or container in their vehicle, or transporting it to their home or place of business, are exempt from the licensing requirements. New provisions are added to include members of the National Guard military police or security forces in title 32 status as exempt from these requirements. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the language and clarify the exemptions related to concealed pistol licensing in Michigan.
