 AN  ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to the recertification proc-
   ess for licenses for firearms
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivisions 5 and 10 of section 400.00 of the penal law,
 as amended by chapter 1 of the laws of 2013,  are  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)] (E) of this subdivi-
 sion, the name and address of any person to whom an application for  any
 license has been granted shall be a public record. Upon application by a
 licensee who has changed his place of residence such records or applica-
 tions  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 officer in the executive department, division of
 state police, Albany, within 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 authority and such clerk, department or authority
 shall provide the division with such records. In the event  such  clerk,
 department or authority lacks such records, the division may request the
 license  holder provide information sufficient to constitute such record
