THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

application with the county clerk in the county in which the
applicant resides during the county clerk's normal business hours.
The application must be on a form provided by the director of the
department of state police and allow the applicant to designate
whether the applicant seeks an emergency license. The applicant
shall sign the application under oath. The county clerk or his or
her representative shall administer the oath. 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). 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subsection is considered withdrawn if an applicant does not have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. A completed
application and all receipts issued under this section expire 1
year from the date of application. The county clerk shall issue the
applicant a receipt for his or her application at the time the
application is submitted containing the name of the applicant, the
applicant's state-issued driver license or personal identification
card number, the date and time the receipt is issued, the amount
paid, the name of the county in which the receipt is issued, an
impression of the county seal, and the statement, "This receipt was
issued for the purpose of applying for a concealed pistol license

pistol in this state.". The application must contain all of the
following:
(a) The applicant's legal name, date of birth, the address of
his or her primary residence, and his or her state-issued driver
license or personal identification card number.
(b) A statement by the applicant that the applicant meets the

(c) A statement by the applicant authorizing the department of
state police to access any record needed to perform the
verification in subsection (6).

has a history of mental illness that would disqualify him or her
under subsection (7)(j) to (l) from receiving a license to carry a
concealed pistol.
(e) A statement by the applicant regarding whether he or she
has ever been convicted in this state or elsewhere for any of the
following:
(i) Any felony.
(ii) A misdemeanor listed under subsection (7)(h) if the
applicant was convicted of that misdemeanor in the 8 years
immediately preceding the date of the application, or a misdemeanor
listed under subsection (7)(i) if the applicant was convicted of
that misdemeanor in the 3 years immediately preceding the date of
the application.
(f) A statement by the applicant whether he or she has been
dishonorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces.

file with the secretary of state, a passport-quality photograph of
the applicant provided by the applicant at the time of application.
(h) A certificate stating that the applicant has completed the
training course prescribed by this act.
(2) The county clerk shall not require the applicant to submit
any additional forms, documents, letters, or other evidence of
eligibility for obtaining a license to carry a concealed pistol
except as set forth in subsection (1) or as otherwise provided for
in this act. The application form must contain a conspicuous
warning that the application is executed under oath and that
intentionally making a material false statement on the application
is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or
a fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both.
(3) An individual who intentionally makes a material false
statement on an application under subsection (1) is guilty of a
felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a
fine of not more than $2,500.00, or both.
(4) The county clerk shall retain a copy of each application
for a license to carry a concealed pistol as an official record.
One year after the expiration of a concealed pistol license, the
county clerk may destroy the record and a name index of the record
shall be maintained in the database created in section 5e.
(5) Each applicant shall pay a nonrefundable application and
licensing fee of $100.00 by any method of payment accepted by that
county for payments of other fees and penalties. Except as provided
in subsection (9), no other charge, fee, cost, or assessment,
including any local charge, fee, cost, or assessment, is required
of the applicant except as specifically authorized in this act. The
applicant shall pay the application and licensing fee to the
county. The county treasurer shall deposit $26.00 of each
application and licensing fee collected under this section in the
concealed pistol licensing fund of that county created in section
5x. The county treasurer shall forward the balance remaining to the
state treasurer. The state treasurer shall deposit the balance of
the fee in the general fund to the credit of the department of
state police. The department of state police shall use the money
received under this act to process the fingerprints and to
reimburse the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the costs
associated with processing fingerprints submitted under this act.

emergency license under section 5a(4) if the applicant is a
petitioner for 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 if the county sheriff determines
that there is clear and convincing evidence to believe that 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. 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

pistol license at the time the applicant's residency in this state
is established. For the purposes of this section, an individual is

(9) An individual, after submitting an application and paying

local police agency, or other entity shall take the fingerprints
within 5 business days after the request. County clerks, the
department of state police, county sheriffs, local police agencies,
and other entities shall provide reasonable access to
fingerprinting services during normal business hours as is
necessary to comply with the requirements of this act if the county
clerk, department of state police, county sheriff, local police
agency, or other entity provides fingerprinting capability for the
purposes of this act. The entity providing fingerprinting services
shall issue the individual a receipt at the time his or her
fingerprints are taken. The county clerk, department of state
police, county sheriff, local police agency, or other entity shall
not provide a receipt under this subsection unless the individual
requesting the fingerprints provides an application receipt
received under subsection (1). A receipt under this subsection must
contain all of the following:
(a) The name of the individual.
(b) The date and time the receipt is issued.
(c) The amount paid.
(d) The name of the entity providing the fingerprint services.
(e) The individual's state-issued driver license or personal
identification card number.
(f) The statement "This receipt was issued for the purpose of
applying for a concealed pistol license. As provided in section 5b
of 1927 PA 372, MCL 28.425b, if a license or notice of statutory
disqualification is not issued within 45 days after the date this
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 must be taken, under subsection (9), in
a manner prescribed by the department of state police. The county
clerk, county sheriff, local police agency, or other entity shall
immediately forward the fingerprints taken by that entity 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
Federal Bureau of Investigation. Within 5 business days after
completing the verification under subsection (6), the department
shall send the county clerk a list of an individual's statutory
disqualifications under this act. Except as provided in section
5a(4), the county clerk shall not issue a concealed pistol license
until he or she receives the report of statutory disqualifications
prescribed in this subsection. 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. 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) The county clerk shall send by first-class mail a notice
of statutory disqualification for a license under this act to an
individual if the individual is not qualified under subsection (7)
to receive that license.
(12) A license to carry a concealed pistol that is issued
based upon an application that contains a material false statement
is void from the date the license is issued.
(13) 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
individual has classifiable fingerprints taken under subsection
(9). 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. If the county clerk receives notice from a county
sheriff or chief law enforcement officer that a licensee is no
longer a member of a sheriff's posse, an auxiliary officer, or a
reserve officer, the county clerk shall notify the licensee that he
or she shall surrender the concealed pistol license indicating that
the individual is exempt from the prohibitions against carrying a
concealed pistol on premises described in section 5o. The licensee
shall, within 30 days after receiving notice from the county clerk,
surrender the license indicating that the individual is exempt from
the prohibitions against carrying a concealed pistol on premises
described in section 5o and obtain a replacement license after
paying the fee required under subsection (15). If the county clerk
issues a notice of statutory disqualification, the county clerk
shall within 5 business days do all of the following:
(a) Inform the individual in writing of the reasons for the
denial or disqualification. Information under this subdivision
shall
must include all of the following:

(iii) The contact information for the source of the record for
each statutory disqualification identified.
(b) Inform the individual in writing of his or her right to
appeal the denial or notice of statutory disqualification to the
circuit court as provided in section 5d.
(c) Inform the individual that he or she should contact the
source of the record for any statutory disqualification to correct
any errors in the record resulting in the statutory
disqualification.
(14) If a license or notice of statutory disqualification is
not issued under subsection (13) within 45 days after the date the
individual has classifiable fingerprints taken under subsection
(9), the receipt issued under subsection (9) serves as a concealed
pistol license for purposes of this act when carried with a state-
issued driver license or personal identification card and is valid
until a license or notice of statutory disqualification is issued
by the county clerk.
(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. 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,
defaced, or replaced for any other reason 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.
(16) If a license issued under this act is suspended or
revoked, the license is forfeited and the individual shall return
the license to the county clerk forthwith by mail or in person. The
county clerk shall retain a suspended or revoked license as an
official record 1 year after the expiration of the license, unless
the license is reinstated or a new license is issued. The county
clerk shall notify the department of state police if a license is
suspended or revoked. The department of state police shall enter
that suspension or revocation into the law enforcement information
network. An individual who fails to return a license as required
under this subsection after he or she was notified that his or her
license was suspended or revoked 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.
(17) An applicant or an individual licensed under this act to
carry a concealed pistol may be furnished a copy of his or her
application under this section upon request and the payment of a
reasonable fee not to exceed $1.00. The county clerk shall deposit
any fee collected under this subsection in the concealed pistol
licensing fund of that county created in section 5x.
(18) This section does not prohibit the county clerk from
making public and distributing to the public at no cost lists of
individuals who are certified as qualified instructors as
prescribed under section 5j.
