 Introduced by M. of A. BRINDISI -- read once and referred to the Commit-

 AN  ACT  to  amend the penal law, in relation to extending the period of
   time for an initial firearm license recertification
 
   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section  1.  Paragraph  (b) of subdivision 10 of section 400.00 of the
 penal law, as added by chapter 1 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read
 as follows:
   (b) All licensees shall be recertified to the division of state police
 every five years thereafter. Any license  issued  before  the  effective
 date  of  the  chapter  of the laws of two thousand thirteen which added
 this paragraph shall be recertified by the licensee on or before  [Janu-
 ary]  MARCH  thirty-first,  two thousand eighteen, and not less than one
 year prior to such date, the state police shall send  a  notice  to  all
 license  holders  who  have not recertified by such time. Such recertif-
 ication shall be in a form as approved by the  superintendent  of  state
 police,  which  shall  request the license holder's name, date of birth,
 gender, race, residential  address,  social  security  number,  firearms
 possessed  by  such  license  holder, email address at the option of the
 license holder and an  affirmation  that  such  license  holder  is  not
 prohibited  from  possessing  firearms. The form may be in an electronic
 form if so designated by the superintendent of state police. Failure  to
 recertify  shall  act  as  a revocation of such license. If the New York
 state police discover as a result of the recertification process that  a
 licensee  failed  to  provide  a  change  of address, the New York state
 police shall not require the licensing officer to revoke such license.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
