Weapons: licensing; grace period for denials due to administrative error; provide for. Amends sec. 5d of 1927 PA 372 (MCL 28.425d).
HB 5113 modifies Michigan's concealed carry licensing process to address administrative errors. It allows applicants to correct mistakes in their applications within 21 business days without paying extra fees, covering errors made by the applicant, the county clerk, or other entities. The bill also creates a court appeal process for applicants denied licenses due to such errors, requiring courts to review records for clear mistakes and potentially order license issuance or fee refunds. This directly affects individuals applying for concealed carry permits who face denials from clerical errors in the current system.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted and reorganized from a House Introduced version to an As Passed version, with changes primarily involving line breaks, paragraph numbering, and minor text adjustments. No substantive policy changes were made to the actual content regarding firearm licensing, appeal processes, or fee structures.
TECHNICAL
Line breaks and paragraph numbering were restructured throughout the document, particularly in sections 5d(2) through 5d(5), changing how the text flows visually without altering meaning.
Minor text corrections were made, including changing 'shall must be' to 'shall be' and adjusting spacing around dates and section references.
Header information including introduction date, committee referral, and page numbers were removed as these are administrative elements not part of the enacted law.
