Relates to the recertification process for firearms
This bill changes how firearm license holder information is handled in New York. It allows applicants to request that their personal details (like address and firearms owned) not be public records, with specific exceptions for safety reasons - such as being a law enforcement officer, under a protection order, a witness in a case, or fearing harassment. License officers must grant these privacy requests unless false information is provided. Law enforcement can still access this information upon request, but the standard disclosure rule now requires an active privacy request from the applicant.
