Bill Summary

This bill would authorize the chief of police of a part-time municipal police department or force to issue firearms purchaser identification cards and permits to purchase a handgun. Under current law, only the chiefs of full-time police departments or forces are authorized to issue these firearms cards and permits. Authorizing these chiefs to issue firearms cards and permits would relieve the State Police from processing these applications and facilitate their issuance in a more timely fashion.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the chiefs of part-time municipal police departments or forces to issue firearms purchaser identification cards and permits to purchase a handgun, in addition to the chiefs of full-time police departments or forces who are currently authorized to do so. This change aims to relieve the State Police from processing these applications and facilitate their issuance in a more timely manner.
