THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 5a. (1) Beginning December 1, 2015, the county concealed

 


weapon licensing boards are eliminated. Each county concealed

 

weapon licensing board shall transfer all license applications and

 

official documents in its possession to the county clerk of the

 

county in which the board is located no later than November 30,

 

2015. All pending applications remain in place, are considered to

 

have a December 1, 2015 application date, and shall be processed by

 

the county clerk as provided in this act. If an applicant has an

 

initial or renewal application that is pending on December 1, 2015,

 

that applicant may request a receipt from the county clerk that

 

meets the requirements of section 5b(9) or 5l(3). The county clerk

 

shall issue that receipt by first-class mail unless requested in

 

person. The receipt is effective on the date the county clerk

 

issues that receipt. The county clerk shall not charge any

 

additional fee for receiving or processing an application

 

previously submitted to the county concealed weapon licensing

 

board, except as otherwise provided in this act. A license to carry

 

a concealed pistol issued by a concealed weapon licensing board

 

before December 1, 2015 is valid and remains in effect until the

 

expiration of that license or as otherwise provided by law.

 

     (2) The county clerk is responsible for all of the following:

 

     (a) Storing and maintaining all records related to issuing a

 

license or notice of statutory disqualification in that county.

 

     (b) Issuing licenses to carry a concealed pistol.

 

     (c) Issuing notices of statutory disqualification, notices of

 

suspensions, and notices of revocations.

 

     (3) The department of state police shall verify under section

 

5b(6) whether an applicant for a license to carry a concealed

 


pistol is eligible to receive a license to carry a concealed

 

pistol.

 

     (4) A county clerk shall issue an emergency license to carry a

 

concealed pistol to an applicant if the individual has obtained a

 

personal protection order issued under section 2950 or 2950a of the

 

revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA 236, MCL 600.2950 and

 

600.2950a, or to an applicant if a county sheriff determines that

 

there is clear and convincing evidence to believe the safety of the

 

applicant or the safety of a member of the applicant's family or

 

household is endangered by the applicant's inability to immediately

 

obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol. Clear and convincing

 

evidence includes, but is not limited to, an application for a

 

personal protection order, police reports and other law enforcement

 

records, or written, audio, or visual evidence of threats to the

 

applicant or member of the applicant's family or household. A

 

county clerk shall only issue an emergency license to carry a

 

concealed pistol to an applicant who has obtained a personal

 

protection order if the individual is eligible under section

 

5b(7)(d), (e), (f), (h), (i), (j), (k), and (m) to receive a

 

license based on a criminal record check through the law

 

enforcement information network conducted by the department of

 

state police. The county sheriff shall only issue a determination

 

under this subsection to an individual who is eligible under

 

section 5b(7)(d), (e), (f), (h), (i), (j), (k), and (m) to receive

 

a license based on a criminal record check through the law

 

enforcement information network and only after the county sheriff

 

has taken the individual's fingerprints in compliance with section

 


5b(9). An emergency license shall be on a form provided by the

 

department of state police. An applicant for an emergency license

 

shall, within 10 business days of applying for an emergency

 

license, complete a pistol training course under section 5j and

 

apply for a license under section 5b. A county sheriff who makes a

 

determination under this section, performs a criminal record check,

 

and takes the applicant's fingerprints may charge a fee not to

 

exceed $15.00. A county clerk may charge a fee not to exceed $10.00

 

for printing an emergency license. A county clerk shall deposit a

 

fee collected by the county clerk under this subsection in the

 

concealed pistol licensing fund of that county created in section

 

5x. An emergency license is unrestricted and is valid for 45 days

 

or until the county clerk issues a license or a notice of statutory

 

disqualification, whichever occurs first. Except as otherwise

 

provided in this act, an emergency license is, for all other

 

purposes of this act, a license to carry a concealed pistol. The

 

county clerk shall include an indication on the license if an

 

individual is exempt from the prohibitions against carrying a

 

concealed pistol on premises described in section 5o if the

 

applicant provides acceptable proof that he or she qualifies for

 

that exemption or if the applicant requests the exemption

 

indorsement on his or her application form. An individual shall not

 

obtain more than 1 emergency license in any 5-year period. If a

 

county clerk issues a notice of statutory disqualification to an

 

applicant who received an emergency license under this section, the

 

applicant shall immediately surrender the emergency license to the

 

county clerk by mail or in person if that emergency license has not

 


expired. An individual who fails to surrender a license as required

 

by this subsection after he or she is notified of a statutory

 

disqualification is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by

 

imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than

 

$500.00, or both.

 

     (5) The legislative service bureau shall compile the firearms

 

laws of this state, including laws that apply to carrying a

 

concealed pistol, and shall provide copies of the compilation in an

 

electronic format to the department of state police. The department

 

of state police shall provide a copy of the compiled laws to each

 

county clerk in this state. The department of state police shall

 

also provide forms to appeal any notice of statutory

 

disqualification, or suspension or revocation of a license under

 

this act. The department of state police shall distribute copies of

 

the compilation and forms required under this subsection in an

 

electronic format to each county clerk. The county clerk shall

 

distribute a copy of the compilation and forms at no charge to each

 

individual who applies for a license to carry a concealed pistol at

 

the time the application is submitted. The county clerk shall

 

require the applicant to sign a written statement acknowledging

 

that he or she has received a copy of the compilation and forms

 

provided under this subsection. An individual is not eligible to

 

receive a license to carry a concealed pistol until he or she has

 

signed the statement.

 

     Sec. 5b. (1) Until November 30, 2015, to obtain a license to

 

carry a concealed pistol, an individual shall apply to the

 

concealed weapon licensing board in the county in which that

 


individual resides. Beginning December 1, 2015, to obtain a license

 

to carry a concealed pistol, an individual shall apply to the

 

county clerk in the county in which the individual resides. The

 

applicant shall file the application with the county clerk in the

 

county in which the applicant resides during the county clerk's

 

normal business hours. The application shall be on a form provided

 

by the director of the department of state police. Until November

 

30, 2015, the application shall allow the applicant to designate

 

whether the applicant seeks a temporary license. Beginning December

 

1, 2015, the application shall allow the applicant to designate

 

whether the applicant seeks an emergency license and whether he or

 

she seeks an exemption from the prohibition against carrying a

 

concealed pistol on the premises described in section 5o. The

 

application shall be signed under oath by the applicant. The oath

 

shall be administered by the county clerk or his or her

 

representative. Beginning December 1, 2015, not more than 1

 

application may be submitted under this subsection in any calendar

 

year. Beginning December 1, 2015, an application under this

 

subsection is not considered complete until an applicant submits

 

all of the required information and fees and has fingerprints taken

 

under subsection (9). Beginning December 1, 2015, an application

 

under this subsection is considered withdrawn if an applicant does

 

not have fingerprints taken under subsection (9) within 45 days of

 

the date an application is filed under this subsection. Beginning

 

December 1, 2015, a completed application under this section

 

expires 1 year from the date of application. Beginning December 1,

 

2015, the county clerk shall issue the applicant a receipt for his

concealed weapon licensing board under this subdivision be reviewed

 

in a closed session. If the applicant requests that the session be

pistol. Beginning December 1, 2015, if the applicant holds a valid

 

concealed pistol license issued by another state at the time the

 

applicant's residency in this state is established, the county

 

clerk shall waive the 6-month waiting period and the applicant may

Beginning December 1, 2015, the county clerk, department of state

receipt was issued, this receipt shall serve as a concealed pistol

 

license for the individual named in the receipt when carried with

 

an official state-issued driver license or personal identification

 

card. The receipt is valid as a license until a license or notice

 

of statutory disqualification is issued by the county clerk. This

 

receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from

 

complying with all applicable laws for the purchase of firearms.".

 

     (10) The fingerprints shall be taken, under subsection (9), in

 

a manner prescribed by the department of state police. The

 

fingerprints taken by a county clerk, county sheriff, local police

 

agency, or other entity shall be immediately forwarded to the

 

department of state police for comparison with fingerprints already

 

on file with the department of state police. The department of

 

state police shall immediately forward the fingerprints to the

days after receiving a report of the fingerprints from the Federal

 

Bureau of Investigation, the department of state police shall

 

provide a copy to the submitting sheriff's department or local

 

police agency as appropriate and the clerk of the appropriate

 

concealed weapon licensing board. Beginning December 1, 2015,

 

within 5 business days of completing the verification under

of an applicant's statutory disqualifications under this act. Until

 

November 30, 2015, and except as provided in subsection (14), the

subsection. Beginning December 1, 2015, if an individual's

 

fingerprints are not classifiable, the department of state police

 

shall, at no charge, take the individual's fingerprints again or

 

provide for the comparisons under this subsection to be conducted

 

through alternative means. Until November 30, 2015, the concealed

 

weapon licensing board may deny a license if an individual's

 

fingerprints are not classifiable by the Federal Bureau of

 

Investigation. Beginning December 1, 2015, the county clerk shall

 

not issue a notice of statutory disqualification because an

 

individual's fingerprints are not classifiable by the Federal

 

Bureau of Investigation.

 

     (11) Until November 30, 2015, the concealed weapon licensing

the applicant is not qualified under subsection (7) to receive that

based upon an application that contains a material false statement

 

is void from the date the license is issued.

 

     (13) Until November 30, 2015, and subject to subsections (10)

 

and (14), the concealed weapon licensing board shall issue or deny

 

issuance of a license within 45 days after the concealed weapon

 

licensing board receives the fingerprint comparison report provided

 

under subsection (10). Beginning December 1, 2015, and subject to

 

subsection (10), the department of state police shall complete the

 

verification required under subsection (6) and the county clerk

 

shall issue a license or a notice of statutory disqualification

 

within 45 days after the date the applicant has classifiable

 

fingerprints taken under subsection (9). Beginning December 1,

 

2015, the county clerk shall include an indication on the license

 

if an individual is exempt from the prohibitions against carrying a

 

concealed pistol on premises described in section 5o if the

 

applicant provides acceptable proof that he or she qualifies for

 

that exemption or if the applicant requests the exemption

 

indorsement on his or her application form. Until November 30,

 

2015, if the concealed weapon licensing board denies issuance of a

 


license to carry a concealed pistol, or beginning December 1, 2015,

 

if the county clerk issues a notice of statutory disqualification,

 

the concealed weapon licensing board or the county clerk, as

or she should contact the source of the record for any statutory

the statutory disqualification.

 

     (14) Until November 30, 2015, if the fingerprint comparison

 

report is not received by the concealed weapon licensing board

 

within 60 days after the fingerprint report is forwarded to the

 


department of state police by the Federal Bureau of Investigation,

 

the concealed weapon licensing board shall issue a temporary

 

license to carry a concealed pistol to the applicant if the

 

applicant is otherwise qualified for a license. Until November 30,

 

2015, a temporary license issued under this section is valid for

 

180 days or until the concealed weapon licensing board receives the

 

fingerprint comparison report provided under subsection (10) and

subsection (13) within 45 days after the date the applicant has

 

classifiable fingerprints taken under subsection (9), the receipt

     (15) If an individual licensed under this act to carry a

 

concealed pistol moves to a different county within this state, his

 

or her license remains valid until it expires or is otherwise

 

suspended or revoked under this act. Beginning December 1, 2015, an

 

individual may notify a county clerk that he or she has moved to a

 


different address within this state for the purpose of receiving

 

the notice under section 5l(1). A license to carry a concealed

 

pistol that is lost, stolen, or defaced may be replaced by the

 

issuing county clerk for a replacement fee of $10.00. A county

 

clerk shall deposit a replacement fee under this subsection in the

 

concealed pistol licensing fund of that county created in section

 

5x.

shall notify the department of state police if a license is

 

suspended or revoked. Beginning December 1, 2015, the department of

 

state police shall enter that suspension or revocation into the law

     (19) An individual who applies for and is granted an exemption

 

from section 5o at the time the individual applies for an original

 

or renewal license under this act is not required to pay any

 

additional fee. An individual who holds a valid license and who

 

applies for an exemption from section 5o at a time other than at

 

the time the individual applies for an original or renewal license

 

under this act may be required to pay a fee of not more than $20.00

 

for both receiving and processing the application for the exemption

license under this act to an individual who later commits a crime

 

or a negligent act.

 

     (22) (21) Beginning December 1, 2015, an individual licensed

 

under this act to carry a concealed pistol may voluntarily

 

surrender that license without explanation. Beginning December 1,

 

2015, a county clerk shall retain a surrendered license as an
