Legislation Overview

Title: CONCEALED CARRY-OBJECTIONS

Description: Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that a law enforcement agency objection to a license applicant based upon information in an arrest or incident report must be based upon information from an investigation of the objecting law enforcement agency and not an investigation of another law enforcement agency. Provides that nothing in the Act prohibits the law enforcement agency from contacting the investigating law enforcement agency regarding the license applicant. Provides that a law enforcement agency that submits an objection to a license applicant may withdraw that objection before its submission to the Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board. Provides that the Department of State Police may review a law enforcement agency objection to a license applicant before the Department's submission of the objection to the Board. Provides that the verification shall determine: (i) if the criteria under this Act for the submission of an objection by the law enforcement agency has been met, (ii) that the objection is against the proper person, and (iii) that information relevant to the objection has been included as required by the Act. Provides that an objection failing verification shall be returned to the objecting agency and that agency shall have 10 calendar days after receiving notification from the Department that the objection failed verification to submit to the Department the required information, a response, or withdrawal of the objection. Provides that if the objecting agency fails to act on the notification within the 10 calendar days, the Department may reject the objection and process the application in accordance with the Act.
