BILL NUMBER: S3902 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the filing of approved applications for licenses to carry, possess, repair and dispose of firearms PURPOSE : This bill amends the penal law to state that pistol permit applications and the supporting records are not public records and are not subject to FOIL, but certain statistical data is still available for release. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : Section 1 amends Penal Law 400.00(5) to require that pistol permit applications and the supporting records are not public records and are not subject to FOIL. This section also removes all the opt-out provisions and changes the repository of such information from The State Police to the Division of Criminal Justice Services. Additionally, this Bill permits the release of statistical data about permit holders on a county by county basis but requires no identifying information about a registrant be disclosed. Section 2 states that this act shall take effect the first of November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become a law.
