AI Summary
This bill modifies Michigan's concealed pistol licensing law by lowering the minimum age requirement for obtaining a concealed pistol license from 21 to 18 years old. The bill maintains the existing comprehensive application process, which includes background checks, fingerprinting, training requirements, and various statutory disqualifications for obtaining a license. Specifically, the bill changes the age requirement in subsection (7)(a) from "21" to "18", while keeping all other licensing criteria intact. This means that individuals who are 18 years of age or older can now apply for a concealed pistol license, provided they meet all other existing legal requirements such as passing background checks, completing a pistol safety training course, having no disqualifying criminal history, and not having certain mental health restrictions. The bill also makes several minor technical edits to language throughout the section, such as replacing "upon" with "on" in a few instances, but these changes do not substantively alter the law's meaning or implementation.
