   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.  Subdivision  4-a  of  section 400.00 of the penal law, as
 added by chapter 233 of the laws of 1980, is amended to read as follows:
   4-a. Processing of license  applications.  Applications  for  licenses
 shall be accepted for processing by the licensing officer at the time of
 presentment.  Except  upon  written notice to the applicant specifically
 stating the reasons for any delay, in each case  the  licensing  officer
 shall  act  upon  any application for a license pursuant to this section
 within six months of the date of presentment of such an  application  to
 the  appropriate  authority.  Such  delay may only be for good cause and
 with respect to the  applicant.  In  acting  upon  an  application,  the
 licensing  officer shall either deny the application for reasons specif-
 ically and concisely stated in writing  or  grant  the  application  and
 issue  the license applied for. AN APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE PURSUANT TO
 THIS SECTION FOR ANY ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE ARMED  FORCES  OF  THE  UNITED
 STATES SHALL BE ACTED UPON BY THE LICENSING OFFICER WITHIN SIXTY DAYS OF
 THE DATE OF SUBMISSION OF SUCH AN APPLICATION TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHOR-
 ITY  PROVIDED SUCH ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES IS DULY LICENSED TO
 CARRY A PISTOL OR FIREARM BY  ANOTHER  JURISDICTION  WITHIN  THE  UNITED
 STATES.  NOTHING  SHALL  PROSCRIBE  THE ISSUING OF A LICENSE PURSUANT TO
 THIS SECTION SO LONG AS THE APPLICANT WHO IS AN  ACTIVE  MEMBER  OF  THE
 ARMED  FORCES,  SUBMITS  THE  APPROPRIATE DOCUMENTATION ACCOMPANYING THE
 APPLICATION AND SUBMITS PROOF OF A PREVIOUSLY OBTAINED LICENSE ISSUED BY
 ANOTHER STATE.
   § 2. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 400.15  to  read
 as follows:
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
