John Burt", "committee": "Criminal Justice and Public Safety", "vote_yeas": 9, "vote_nays": 8, "text": "As amended, the bill extends the license renewal period from 4 years to 5 years, saving time for both citizens and police departments. The bill codifies in New Hampshire statute precisely what criteria should be used by police departments when issuing a license. This change proactively addresses the concern that police departments have a perceived liability for issuing a license to someone who would misuse a firearm. The changes to the statutes in no way prohibit the police from running background checks to verify that the person is legally able to own and possess a firearm. The bill makes the license to carry concealed optional for those who are currently able to purchase and/or own a firearm and can already carry openly without a license. Lastly, the bill clarifies the process on how New Hampshire develops reciprocal agreements with other states regarding carry licenses. All of the changes in the bill are in compliance with Part 1, Art. 2-a, of the New Hampshire Constitution, protecting a person's right to keep and bear arms, while also recognizing law enforcement's requests to prohibit certain persons from obtaining a license. The committee heard significant testimony about the current abuses within the existing licensing system. Over the last few months, there have been several court cases where law abiding citizens, \"suitable\" citizens, were denied a license renewal over misinterpretations of the current law. The cases involved issues such as the police chief asking for reference phone numbers; something that is prohibited by statute. Another case was that the chief did not like the particular references who were selected. In each of these cases, the citizens spent thousands of dollars in legal fees to get their renewal completed. In other cases, chiefs are denying people due to the ambiguity in the law about who can have a license. There was also a recent New Hampshire Supreme Court case involving Mark Doyon v. Hooksett Police Department that altered the standards which were being used by police departments to grant licenses. Current New Hampshire statute requires that upon application, the police \"shall issue a license to such applicant authorizing the applicant to carry a loaded pistol or revolver in this state and that the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed.\" The issue at hand is that there is no definition in statute for the term \"suitable.\" This ambiguity had been addressed for over a decade by the backside of the application form which read: \"Applicants not prohibited under federal or New Hampshire law from possession of a firearm shall be deemed suitable persons and the license shall be issued unless the applicant is so prohibited from possessing a firearm. The burden is on the licensing entity to prove by clear and convincing proof that the applicant is so prohibited from possessing a firearm.\" The bill updates the language in current statutes to the following clear definition for use by police departments when issuing a license: \"Unless the applicant is prohibited by New Hampshire or federal statute from possessing a firearm.\" The majority of the committee felt that the language changes in the amendment balanced the need for public safety while protecting the rights of citizens. The committee also heard testimony regarding the historic racial profiling and anti-union roots of this legislation from the early 1900s."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep.

New Hampshire's current concealed carry permitting law has worked well for nearly a century; the Granite State is one of the safest states in the nation.

Law enforcement and public safety officials oppose removing the licensing process. This process helps ensure that potentially dangerous individuals are not allowed to carry hidden weapons. The ability of states to appropriately regulate the concealed carry of firearms has been reaffirmed in its constitutional soundness time and time again by the United State Supreme Court. New Hampshire law already allows for the open carry of handguns without a permit, and it also ensures that an appeal process is in place when a permit is denied. States that currently allow concealed carry of firearms without a permit have far stricter regulations at the point of original purchase than New Hampshire does, including more vigorous background checks.

Amend RSA 159:6 to read as follows:\n\n159:6 License to Carry.\n\nI.(a) The selectmen of a town, the mayor or chief of police of a city or a full-time police officer designated by them respectively, the county sheriff for a resident of an unincorporated place, or the county sheriff if designated by the selectmen of a town that has no police chief, upon application of any resident of such town, city, or unincorporated place, or the director of state police, or some person designated by such director, upon application of a nonresident, shall issue a license to such applicant authorizing the applicant to carry a loaded pistol or revolver in this state for not less than 4 years from the date of issue, if it appears that the applicant has good reason to fear injury to the applicant\u2019s person or property or has any proper purpose[, and that the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed], unless the applicant is prohibited by New Hampshire or federal statute from possessing a firearm. Hunting, target shooting, or self-defense shall be considered a proper purpose. The license shall be valid for all allowable purposes regardless of the purpose for which it was originally issued.\n\n(b) The license shall be in duplicate and shall bear the name, address, description, and signature of the licensee. The original shall be delivered to the licensee and the duplicate shall be preserved by the people issuing the same for [ 4] 5 years. When required, license renewal shall take place within the month of the [ fourth] fifth anniversary of the license holder\u2019s date of birth following the date of issuance. The license shall be issued within 14 days after application, and, if such application is denied, the reason for such denial shall be stated in writing, the original of which such writing shall be delivered to the applicant, and a copy kept in the office of the person to whom the application was made. The fee for licenses issued to residents of the state shall be $10, which fee shall be for the use of the town or city granting said licenses; the fee for licenses granted to out-of-state residents shall be $100, which fee shall be for the use of the state. The director of state police is hereby authorized and directed to prepare forms for the licenses required under this chapter and forms for the application for such licenses and to supply the same to officials of the cities and towns authorized to issue the licenses. The form shall require no more information than was required on the state of New Hampshire application for pistol/revolver license, form DSSP 85, as revised in December 2009. No other forms shall be used by officials of cities and towns. The cost of the forms shall be paid out of the fees received from nonresident licenses.\n\nII. No photograph or fingerprint shall be required or used as a basis to grant, deny, or renew a license to carry for a resident or nonresident, unless requested by the applicant.\n\nIII. The availability of a license to carry a loaded pistol or revolver under this section or under any other provision of law shall not be construed to impose a prohibition on the unlicensed transport or carry of a firearm in a vehicle, or on or about one\u2019s person, whether openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, by a resident, nonresident, or alien if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by statute from possessing a firearm in the state of New Hampshire.\n\n2 Pistols and Revolvers; Reciprocity. RSA 159:6-d is repealed and reenacted to read as follows:\n\n159:6-d Reciprocity. The director of the division of state police shall negotiate and enter into reciprocal agreements with other jurisdictions to recognize in those jurisdictions the validity of the license issued under RSA 159:6. The director shall apply to every jurisdiction with which New Hampshire does not have a reciprocity agreement, at least once every 5 years to obtain recognition in those jurisdictions of the license issued under RSA 159:6. Any such agreement executed shall not expire unless an expiration date is required under the statutes of the reciprocal jurisdiction.\n\n3 Repeal. RSA 159:4, relative to requiring a license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver, is repealed.\n\n4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.\n\nLBAO\n\n15-0798\n\n01/26/15\n\nHB 582-FN - FISCAL NOTE\n\nAN ACT repealing the license requirement for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver.\n\nMETHODOLOGY:\n\nThe Department of Safety (Department), the Judicial Branch, the New Hampshire Municipal Association (Association), and the Judicial Council state this bill increases the length of time for which a license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver is valid, and repeals the requirement to obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver.\n\nAssuming an effective date of July 1, 2015, the Department and Association state the repeal of the requirement to obtain a license to carry a concealed pistol or revolver would limit the need for a permit to those individuals who desire to utilize the permit to participate in reciprocity agreements with other states. Simultaneously, the extension of the life of the permit from a four to a five year period would also negatively impact the demand for both resident and non-resident permits.\n\nThe Department states it currently issues approximately 9,800 non-resident permits per year at $100 per permit. The Department estimates the proposed legislation would reduce the number of non-resident permits issued annually by as many as 9,000 per year thereby reducing state general fund revenue by as much as $900,000 in FY 2016 and each fiscal year thereafter.\n\nThe Department and Association note resident permits are issued locally for a fee of $10 each, however, they are unable to quantify the number of resident permits issued annually and therefore unable to estimate the decrease in local revenues in FY 2016 and each fiscal year thereafter as a result of the passage of the proposed legislation.\n\nThe Judicial Branch states the proposed legislation also repeals the associated penalties for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver without a permit. The Branch notes under current law carrying a concealed pistol or revolver without a permit is a misdemeanor for the first offense or a class B felony for subsequent offenses within seven years of the first offense. Judicial Branch statistics indicate an average of 64 misdemeanor prosecutions and 12 felony prosecutions resulting from offenses relating to carrying a concealed pistol or revolver without a permit over the past 10 years. Based on an estimated cost of prosecution of a class A misdemeanor level offense of $68.71 in FY 2016 and $70.95 in FY 2017; a class B misdemeanor level offense of $48.47 in FY 2016 an $50.63 in FY 2017; and a class B Felony of $438.34 in FY 2016 and $452.53 in FY 2017; the Department estimates the passage of this bill will decrease Branch expenditures by approximately $10,000 in FY 2016 and each fiscal year thereafter. The Branch notes this estimate does not include consideration of any cost savings associated with fewer appeals resulting from fewer prosecutions which would inherently increase by an indeterminable amount the reduction in state expenditures resulting from the bill\u2019s passage.\n\nThe Judicial Council states to the extent less indigent defense is required as a result of the proposed legislation state expenditures would be reduced. However, the Judicial Council notes the proposed legislation would make concealed firearms more ubiquitous in public spaces and is unable to determine any impact an increased frequency of concealed firearms may have on demands for indigent defense.\n\nThe Department of Corrections states it is not able to determine the fiscal impact of this bill because it does not have sufficient detail to predict the number of individuals who would not be subject to incarceration or supervision as a result of this legislation. The Department of Corrections states the average annual cost of incarcerating an individual in the general prison population for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 was $35,071. The cost to supervise an individual by the Department\u2019s division of field services for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 was $608.\n\nThe Department of Justice and Association of Counties state this bill will have no fiscal impact on revenue or expenditures.", "in_text": [], "chars": 9846}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 159:6": "/laws/159#s6", "RSA 159:6-d": "/laws/159#s6-d", "RSA 159:4": "/laws/159#s4"}, "amends": {"RSA 159:6": "/laws/159#s6", "RSA 159:6-d": "/laws/159#s6-d", "RSA 159:4": "/laws/159#s4"}, "related": [{"g": 0, "o": "2015-2016/HB1000", "n": "HB 1000-FN-A", "t": "establishing a state grant program to assist state and local law enforcement agencies in addressing the opioid crisis and making an appropriation therefor.", "y": 2016, "c": "Became Law", "s": "Its language was offered as amendment 2016-2188h to {b}; the House rejected it, 100-214."}, {"g": 0, "o": "2015-2016/SB533", "n": "SB 533-FN-A-LOCAL", "t": "relative to the governor's commission on alcohol and drug abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery and making supplemental appropriations to the commission, the New Hampshire housing finance authority, and the department of health and human services, bureau of drug and alcohol services.", "y": 2016, "c": "Became Law", "s": "Its language was offered as amendment 2016-1922h to {b}; the House rejected it, 98-204."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2017-2018/SB12", "n": "SB 12-FN", "t": "repealing the licensing requirement for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver.", "y": 2017, "c": "Became Law", "s": "Filed again as {b}, with the same text."}, {"g": 1, "o": "2013-2014/HB451", "n": "HB 451-FN", "t": "repealing the license requirement for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver.", "y": 2013, "c": "Died", "s": "Its text was part of {b}, a longer bill filed before it."}, {"g": 2, "o": "2015-2016/SB116", "n": "SB 116-FN", "t": "repealing the license requirement for carrying a concealed pistol or revolver.", "y": 2015, "c": "Died", "s": "This term's {b} has the same text."}]}
