The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 624.714, subdivision 7a, to require permit holders to notify the issuing sheriff within 30 days of a change in their legal name, in addition to existing requirements for notifying about a change of address or loss of the permit card. 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.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for obtaining a replacement permit card after notifying the sheriff of a change or loss. Permit holders can request a replacement by paying a fee of $10 and must use an official application form. The amendments aim to enhance public safety by ensuring that law enforcement has up-to-date information on permit holders.
