The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 624.714, subdivision 7a, to require permit to carry holders to notify the issuing sheriff within 30 days of a change in their legal name, in addition to the existing requirement for notifying a change of address. The failure to provide this notification is classified as a petty misdemeanor, with a maximum fine of $25 for a first offense. Furthermore, firearms carried in violation of this notification requirement are not subject to forfeiture, as stated in section 609.531.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for obtaining a replacement permit card after notifying the sheriff of a change in legal name or address. Permit holders can request a replacement card by paying a fee of $10 and must submit an official application, which can be standardized under section 624.7151. The bill emphasizes the importance of keeping personal information current to ensure public safety and compliance with the law.
