HB 402 Concealed handguns; issuance of a de facto permit.
Introduced by: William R. Janis | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Concealed handgun permit; issuance of permit. Provides that a copy of a concealed handgun permit application will become a de facto permit if the court does not grant or deny the permit within 45 days of receipt of the completed application. The bill requires the clerk of the court to record the date that the completed application is received, and certify on the application if no action is taken by the court within the required 45-day time period. The clerk must send a copy of the certified application to the applicant, and the copy will serve as a de facto permit until the court grants a five-year concealed handgun permit or finds the applicant to be disqualified. If the five-year permit is denied, the applicant must surrender the de facto permit to the court. The clerk must also forward a copy of the certified application to the State Police and local law-enforcement agencies, so that the permit's existence and status will be known to law-enforcement agencies.
