Criminal Justice (Firearms · Licensing)

This bill requires firearm dealers in Michigan to obtain a state license for each location where they sell guns, with a $250 application fee and annual renewal costs. To qualify, dealers must hold a federal firearms license, have local government permits, and ensure all employees handling firearms are at least 21 years old with no criminal history related to violence or theft. The law mandates annual training for dealers and staff covering topics like recognizing illegal purchases, preventing theft, and firearm safety, with a passing score of 70% on a written exam. Licenses are non-transferable, must be displayed at the business, and expire annually, with the department able to deny or revoke them for violations or recordkeeping failures.
