Senate Bill 810 Summary

• Amends Michigan's pistol licensing law to add a new qualification requirement prohibiting individuals listed on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's consolidated terrorist watch list from obtaining a pistol license.

• Requires that applicants are not listed on the Terrorist Screening Center's consolidated terrorist watch list maintained by the FBI as a condition for license issuance.

• Exempts individuals with certain existing licenses (concealed pistol licenses, emergency licenses, and receipts) and federally licensed firearms dealers from the new terrorist watch list requirement, but maintains the prohibition for those actually listed on the watch list.

• Establishes felony penalties for making material false statements on pistol sales records, punishable by imprisonment up to 4 years or fines up to $2,500.

• Directs the Department of State Police to promulgate rules implementing these requirements and mandates the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards to provide certificate information to verify compliance.
