 AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to extending  the  period  of
   time for an initial firearm license recertification
 
   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 of the laws of two  thousand  thirteen  which  added
 this  paragraph shall be recertified by the licensee on or before [Janu-
 ary] MARCH thirty-first, two thousand eighteen, 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  recertif-
 ication  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.
