MI SB0287

Amends Michigan Penal Code Section 227 to establish a civil fine of $330 for carrying a concealed pistol with an expired license, rather than felony charges, if the license expired within 1 year before the violation.

Requires the person to be eligible to obtain a concealed pistol license under Michigan law to qualify for the reduced civil penalty.

Eliminates the civil fine entirely if the person obtains a renewal concealed pistol license within 60 business days after the violation.

Maintains felony penalties (up to 5 years imprisonment) for violations of subsection (1) prohibiting carrying daggers, dirks, and other dangerous weapons.

Preserves existing exemptions allowing concealed weapon carrying in one's dwelling house, place of business, or other possessed land.
