AI Summary
This bill amends a 1927 law that regulates the selling, purchasing, possessing, and carrying of certain firearms in Michigan. The key provisions are:
1. Requires a license to purchase or acquire any firearm, not just pistols. Provides exceptions for certain individuals like law enforcement, military, and those with a concealed carry license.
2. Requires a background check for the purchase of any firearm, not just pistols. Provides an exception for those with a federal firearms dealer license or a concealed carry license.
3. Allows law enforcement agencies to retain and resell or use seized firearms, rather than having to destroy them, as long as they follow certain procedures.
4. Makes other technical changes to the licensing and record-keeping requirements around firearm purchases and transfers.
Overall, this bill aims to expand background check and licensing requirements for firearm purchases in Michigan beyond just pistols to include all types of firearms.
