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 provisions for members of the National Guard military police or security forces in title 32 status, further expanding the list of exemptions.

Additionally, the bill updates the language throughout to use gender-neutral terms, replacing phrases like "his or her" with "the individual's." This change aims to promote inclusivity and ensure that the law is applicable to all individuals, regardless of gender. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the licensing process for specific groups while maintaining public safety regulations regarding concealed carry.
