 AN  ACT  to  amend  the penal law, in relation to the filing of approved
   applications for licenses to carry, possess,  repair  and  dispose  of
   firearms

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Subdivision 5 of  section  400.00  of  the  penal  law,  as
 amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
   5.  Filing  of  approved  applications.  [(a)] The application for any
 license, if granted, shall be filed by the licensing  officer  with  the
 clerk  of  the  county  of issuance, except that in the city of New York
 and, in the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, the licensing officer  shall
 designate  the  place  of  filing in the appropriate division, bureau or
 unit of the police department thereof, and in the county of Suffolk  the
 county  clerk  is  hereby authorized to transfer all records or applica-
 tions relating to firearms to the licensing authority  of  that  county.
 [Except  as  provided in paragraphs (b) through (f) of this subdivision,
 the name and  address]  THE  APPLICATION  AND  ANY  SUPPORTING  RECORDS,
 INCLUDING  ANY  INFORMATION  CONTAINED THEREIN, of any person to whom an
 application for any license has been  granted  shall  NOT  be  a  public
 record AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE SIX OF
 THE PUBLIC OFFICERS LAW.  Upon application by a licensee who has changed
 his place of residence such records or applications shall be transferred
 to  the  appropriate officer at the licensee's new place of residence. A
 duplicate copy of such application shall be filed by the licensing offi-
 cer in the executive department, division of state police, Albany, with-
 in ten days after issuance of the license. The superintendent  of  state
 police  may  designate that such application shall be transmitted to the
 division of state police electronically. In the event the superintendent
 of the division of state police determines that  it  lacks  any  of  the
 records required to be filed with the division, it may request that such
 records  be  provided  to  it  by  the  appropriate clerk, department or
