Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a requirement for the state police to track expiration dates and proactively send renewal notices for pistol/revolver licenses at least 90 days prior. This procedural aid reduces the chance of lapse due to missed deadlines, thereby expanding the practical ability to maintain licenses for carrying or possessing firearms. No provisions restrict access, impose new requirements on applicants, or address other listed topics.
