AI Summary
This bill clarifies that the chief of police or Superintendent of State Police has the burden of proving an applicant's disqualification for a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card. If the application is denied, the chief of police or Superintendent must provide the applicant with a written statement specifying the reason and any proof relied upon for the denial. This places the burden of proof on the authorities rather than the applicant, aiming to ensure a fair and transparent process for obtaining these permits and identification cards.
