HB 5689 Summary

• Amends Michigan's pistol licensing law (1927 PA 372) to add references to "gun violence restraining orders" as a disqualification for obtaining or maintaining licenses to purchase, carry, or possess pistols.

• Prohibits individuals subject to a gun violence restraining order from obtaining a license to purchase a pistol under Section 2, a concealed weapon license under Section 5b, and requires the Department of State Police to notify such individuals and allow them to request expungement of the order from the law enforcement information network.

• Prevents the Department of State Police from sending notice of a gun violence restraining order to a respondent until the person has been served with or received notice of the order.

• Tied to House Bill 5688 (14), meaning this bill only takes effect if HB 5688 is also enacted into law.

• Makes technical corrections to existing statutory language regarding pistol licensing procedures and applicant qualifications.
