Weapons: licensing; penalty for failure to comply with certain licensing requirements; modify. Amends sec. 227 of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.227).

HB 5341 modifies Michigan's weapon carrying laws by changing penalties for first-time violations of concealed pistol licensing rules. It specifies that individuals who carry a concealed pistol without a current license (but with an expired license under 1 year old and eligibility for a new license) will now face only a $330 civil fine instead of potential felony charges. The bill directly affects people who carry concealed weapons without a valid permit but meet these specific criteria. It does not change the requirement for a license or the underlying prohibition on concealed carry without one. The key change is replacing criminal penalties with a civil fine for this narrow category of first-time violations.
