A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 5698 AS INTRODUCED 3-24-04

The concealed weapons law, Public Act 372 of 1927, requires certain applicants for a CCW license to take a pistol training and safety course as a condition of receiving a CCW license.  Those required to take the course include all new applicants for a CCW license and individuals licensed prior to July 1, 2001, who are renewing the license for the first time under the amended law.

An individual’s application must include a certificate, signed by the course instructor, stating that the applicant has completed the training course prescribed by the act and that the course complies with the act.  House Bill 5698 would require the certificate, signed by the instructor, to explicitly state, “This course complies with section 5j of 1927 PA 372”, and continue to include a statement attesting that the individual has successfully completed the course.

In addition, the bill would prohibit a concealed weapons licensing board from requiring a specific form, color, wording, or other content in the certificate other than what is required above.
