A SUMMARY OF SENATE BILL 525 AS PASSED BY THE SENATE 9-21-11

Senate Bill 525 would amend the handgun licensure law, Public Act 372 of 1927, to allow a renewal application for a concealed pistol license (CPL) to be submitted up to six months before the current license expires.  If approved by the licensing board, the effective date of the renewal license would be the expiration date of the current license or the date the renewal application was approved, whichever is later.  As now, the renewed license would expire on the applicant's date of birth that is not less than four years or more than five years from the effective date of the license.

Currently, a concealed pistol license issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2006, is valid until the applicant's date of birth that falls not less than four years or more than five years after the license is issued or renewed.  A renewal of a license generally must be issued in the same manner as an original license.  The concealed weapon licensing board must issue or deny a renewal license within 60 days after an application for renewal is properly submitted.
