AI Summary
This bill modifies the requirements for obtaining a license to carry a concealed pistol in Michigan, primarily by allowing individuals to apply for a license in *any* county in the state, rather than being restricted to the county where they reside. It also makes several other changes, including updating the renewal process for concealed pistol licenses, allowing for online renewal applications through the Department of State Police, and waiving certain training requirements for retired law enforcement officers and for subsequent license renewals if specific conditions are met. The bill also clarifies the validity period of licenses and the process for handling expired licenses during renewal.
