Bill > SB118

This bill, titled "Concealed carry fingerprints & refreshers," amends New Mexico law regarding concealed handgun licenses by changing the requirements for license renewal and addressing lost or stolen licenses. Specifically, it allows individuals to renew their concealed handgun license up to ninety days before it expires, and it removes the requirement for applicants seeking to renew their license to submit new fingerprints, instead mandating that the department update the criminal records check without additional fingerprinting. The bill also adjusts the grace period for renewing an expired license from sixty days to ninety days, after which a new application process would be required. Additionally, it clarifies procedures for reporting lost or stolen licenses, requiring a police report and a notarized statement to obtain a duplicate.
