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 expands the list of exemptions to include members of the National Guard military police or security forces in title 32 status. This amendment aims to streamline the process for certain professionals who require the ability to carry concealed firearms as part of their official duties, thereby enhancing public safety and operational efficiency for law enforcement and military personnel.
