Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to requiring the division of state police to send renewal notices to holders of a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver before expiration of such license
AI Summary
This bill requires the New York State Police Division to proactively send renewal notices to pistol and revolver license holders at least 90 days before their current license expires. Specifically, the bill amends the penal law to mandate that the division maintain a record of license expiration dates and send advance notifications to license holders, helping ensure they have sufficient time to submit a renewal application. This change aims to improve the license renewal process by providing licensees with ample notice and helping them avoid potential lapses in their legal authorization to carry or possess a firearm. The bill will take effect 30 days after becoming law, which is a standard implementation timeline that allows state agencies time to prepare for the new requirement.
