State Senator Mike Green’s long-fought effort to make Michigan a true “shall issue” concealed pistol license (CPL) state ended in victory last week when Gov. Rick Snyder signed legislation that will do away with county gun boards and cut the red tape and cost involved in obtaining a permit. Senate Bills 34 and 35, sponsored by Green (R-Mayville), reform how CPLs are issued. The legislation streamlines the process across all counties, dissolving county gun boards and transferring all application and licensing duties to county clerks and the Michigan State Police, which is now respon - sible for conducting background investigations previously overseen by county gun boards. “These bills streamline how we issue concealed pistol licenses, creating a uniform system that will better support the rights of firearm owners in Michigan,” Snyder said. “I appreciate that the Legislature revamped this legislation, removing any unintended consequences that could have put domestic abuse victims in danger.” “I applaud the governor for working with the Legislature to address con - cerns surrounding my previous CPL proposal,” Green said. “As passed by both chambers and now signed by Gov. Rick Snyder, Senate Bill 34 repre - sents the most fundamental overhaul of Michigan’s concealed pistol license system on behalf of law-abiding citizen gun owners since ‘shall issue’ was adopted in 1999. This uniform statewide process finally completes those important reforms.” Green’s bills will eliminate lengthy application periods – waits that often exceeded the 60-day limit under the old law — by creating a uniform, cen - TROOPER MARK SWALES, a community service trooper tralized system when applying for a concealed pistol license.
