HB 4483 requires Michigan concealed pistol license holders to have a QR code printed on their license. This QR code links directly to a reciprocity website maintained by the Michigan Attorney General, which shows which states recognize Michigan licenses. The bill amends existing law to add this QR code as a standard feature on all concealed pistol licenses issued under Michigan's licensing system. It affects all current and future concealed carry license holders by providing a quick digital reference for out-of-state reciprocity.
