The bill amends Section 11-47-11 of the General Laws in Chapter 11-47, which pertains to the licensing of individuals to carry concealed pistols or revolvers. It introduces new language that prohibits local licensing authorities from issuing a concealed carry permit to out-of-state residents based on permits issued by authorities from other states or subdivisions. The bill specifies that only residents of the city or town can apply for a concealed carry permit.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the names, addresses, and dates of birth of individuals holding concealed carry permits cannot be disclosed to any individual or organization, although general statistical data may still be released. This measure aims to enhance privacy for permit holders while ensuring that the licensing process is restricted to local residents only. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
