Bill > HF1980

This bill expands the information collected and the scope of the background check conducted for noncitizen applicants seeking a permit to carry a firearm in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill requires noncitizen applicants to provide their country of birth and alien number or alien admission number as part of the application process. Additionally, the bill requires the sheriff to perform an "Immigration Alien Query" (IAQ) check on noncitizen applicants as part of the background check. These changes aim to ensure that the background check process for noncitizen permit applicants is more comprehensive.
