Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a procedural requirement for the state police to track expiration dates and mail renewal notices for pistol/revolver licenses (including carry licenses) at least 90 days prior. This facilitates timely renewal without changing substantive eligibility, restrictions, or access rules for firearms or carry permits, resulting in an expands tag for the carry topic due to reduced risk of lapse and a neutral tag for the procedural change.
