 AN  ACT  to  amend  the penal law, in relation to the recertification of
   firearm licenses
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Paragraph  (b) of subdivision 10 of section 400.00 of the
 penal law, as added by chapter 1 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read
 as follows:
   (b) All licensees shall be recertified to the division of state police
 every five years thereafter. Any license  issued  before  the  effective
 date  of  [the]  chapter ONE of the laws of two thousand thirteen [which
 added this paragraph] shall be recertified by the licensee on or  before
 January  thirty-first,  two  thousand  [eighteen] NINETEEN, and not less
 than one year prior to such date, the state police shall send  a  notice
 to  all  license  holders  who  have  not recertified by such time. Such
 recertification shall be in a form as approved by the superintendent  of
 state  police,  which  shall  request the license holder's name, date of
 birth,  gender,  race,  residential  address,  social  security  number,
 firearms  possessed  by such license holder, email address at the option
 of the license holder and an affirmation that such license holder is not
 prohibited from possessing firearms. The form may be  in  an  electronic
 form  if so designated by the superintendent of state police. Failure to
 recertify shall act as a revocation of such license.  If  the  New  York
 state  police discover as a result of the recertification process that a
 licensee failed to provide a change  of  address,  the  New  York  state
 police shall not require the licensing officer to revoke such license.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
 
 
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
