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
