AI Summary
This bill amends the Penal Law to authorize the sheriff of any county outside the city of New York to issue pistol permits upon the approval of the county clerk. Prior to this change, the sheriff of Suffolk County was not able to issue pistol permits in certain towns, and the permit process was handled by the county commissioner of police instead. This bill expands the sheriff's authority to issue pistol permits throughout the entire county, providing more flexibility in the permitting process.
