2017 Senate Bill 219 / Public Act 95

Revise concealed pistol permit details

Introduced in the Senate

March 7, 2017

Introduced by Sen. Michael Green (R-31)

To revise many details and procedures in the state’s concealed pistol license law. Among other changes, if a license is denied based on one of the disqualifications specified in the law, the disqualification must appear in the State Police background check all applicants must undergo. The bill also repeals a state permit requirement to own an armored vehicle (one with guns would be subject to many other restrictions though).

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary
