=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Replaces references to 'licensing officer' with 'filing officer' (defined as county clerk unless county resolution specifies otherwise) throughout the provisions governing applications to amend licenses to carry or possess pistols, revolvers, or semiautomatic rifles, and related notifications, recer
a person licensed to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle may apply at any time to the filing officer for amendment of such officer's license to include one or more such weapons or to cancel weapons held under license.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill only changes terminology and administrative processes for amending, renewing, and administering existing firearm licenses to carry/possess; it makes no substantive change to who may obtain, carry, or possess firearms or to any restrictions on them. The new definition of 'filing officer' expressly allows counties to vary the responsible official by local resolution, but this is a procedural detail with no net effect on the scope of gun ownership or carry rights.
