Bill > HB1156

This bill amends Mississippi law to allow individuals to renew their firearms permit online, in addition to the existing in-person renewal option. The Department of Public Safety (DPS), which issues these permits allowing individuals to carry stun guns, concealed pistols, or revolvers, will be required to provide renewal forms that explain both online and in-person renewal methods. The bill specifies that online renewal will only be permitted if all the applicant's information remains the same, and the DPS will establish rules for this process. The existing requirement for a notarized affidavit and a new set of fingerprints for renewal remains, though the bill removes a previous distinction that limited mail-in or other non-in-person renewals to only the first renewal. This change aims to modernize the renewal process while maintaining necessary security checks.
