THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 5l. (1) A license to carry a concealed pistol issued on or
after July 1, 2003 but before July 1, 2006 is valid for 5 years.
(2) An initial license to carry a concealed pistol issued or
renewed on or after July 1, 2006, other than a license described in
subsection (1), is valid until the applicant's date of birth that
falls not less than 4 years or more than 5 years after the license
is issued or renewed, as applicable. Except as provided in
subsections (8) and (9), a renewal of a license under section 5b
shall, except as provided in this section, be issued in the same
manner as an original license issued under section 5b.
(3) Subject to subsections (8) and (9), an application to
renew a license to carry a concealed pistol may be submitted not
more than 6 months before the expiration of the current license. If
the concealed weapon licensing board approves the renewal, the
effective date of the renewal license is the date of expiration of
the current license or the date of approval of the renewal,
whichever is later, and the date of expiration is the applicant's
date
of birth which that is not less than 4 years or more than 5
years from the effective date of the license.
(4) The concealed weapon licensing board shall issue or deny
issuance of a renewal license within 60 days after the application
for renewal is properly submitted. The county clerk shall issue the
applicant a receipt for his or her renewal application at the time
the application is submitted. The receipt shall contain all of the
following:
(a) The name of the applicant.
(b) The date and time the receipt is issued.

(5) If the concealed weapon licensing board fails to deny or
issue a renewal license to the person within 60 days as required
under subsection (4), the expiration date of the current license is
extended by 180 days or until the renewal license is issued,
whichever occurs first. This subsection does not apply unless the
person pays the renewal fee at the time the renewal application is
submitted and the person has submitted a receipt from a police
agency that confirms that a background check has been requested by
the applicant.
(6) A person carrying a concealed pistol after the expiration
date of his or her license pursuant to an extension under
subsection (5) shall keep the receipt issued by the county clerk
under subsection (4) and his or her expired license in his or her

the purposes of this act, the receipt is considered to be part of

issued or denied. Failing to have the receipt and expired license
in possession while carrying a concealed pistol or failing to
display the receipt to a peace officer upon request is a violation
of this act.

time in the 6 months immediately preceding the subsequent
