A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4522 AS INTRODUCED 3-17-05

House Bill 4522 would amend Public Act 372 of 1927, which concerns the licensing of firearms, to waive the firearm training requirement for a concealed weapons permit for individuals who have been honorably discharged from the armed forces of this state, another state, or the United States.

MCL 28.425j

FISCAL IMPACT:

This would have an indeterminate fiscal impact since we don't know how many honorably discharged individuals would have taken the training in the first place and how many would actually apply for gun permits under this new law.
