Bill > A06130

This bill amends the New York Penal Law to make the applications for licenses to carry, possess, repair, and dispose of firearms confidential and not subject to public disclosure under the state's Freedom of Information Law. The bill specifies that the application and any supporting records, including the applicant's personal information, shall not be public records. It also provides a process for applicants to request an exception to prevent the disclosure of their information if they believe it could endanger their life or safety or lead to unwarranted harassment.
