Bill summary

House amendments makes the following change to the 1st edition:

Amendment #1 clarifies that no additional documentation beyond the listed documentation at GS 14-404(e1) shall be required from an applicant for a pistol permit. Clarifies that the language authorizing the sheriff to request disclosure of mental health court orders does not increase documentation required from the applicant under subsection (e1) or to increase the time period set out in subsection (f).

Amendment #2 requires a permit application to contain a conspicuous warning disclosing that application for a pistol permit gives the sheriff the authority to obtain criminal and mental health court orders required by state and federal law to determine permit eligibility.
