A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 23-31-215, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE ISSUANCE OF CONCEALABLE WEAPONS PERMITS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT IF A PERMIT HOLDER FAILS TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO RENEW HIS PERMIT WITHIN TWELVE MONTHS OF THE DATE IT EXPIRES, HE MUST SUBMIT AN INITIAL APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO OBTAIN A PERMIT, AND TO PROVIDE THAT ONCE A PERMIT EXPIRES, THE HOLDER OF THE PERMIT MAY NOT LEGALLY CARRY A CONCEALABLE WEAPON.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 23-31-215(P) of the 1976 Code, as amended by Act 274 of 2002, is further amended to read:

"(P)    A permit issued pursuant to this article is valid for four years. If a permit holder fails to submit an application to renew his permit within twelve months of the date it expires, he must satisfy the requirements contained in subsection (A) to obtain a permit. Once a permit expires, the holder of the permit may not legally carry a conceable weapon. Subject to subsection (Q) of this section, SLED shall renew a permit upon:

(1)    payment of a fifty-dollar renewal fee by the applicant. This fee must be waived for disabled veterans and retired law enforcement officers;

(2)    submission of one current full face color photograph of the applicant not smaller than one inch by one inch nor larger than three inches by five inches; and

(3)    a complete set of fingerprints or medical waiver as evidenced in a statement of medical limitation as provided in subsection (A). A law enforcement agency may charge a fee not to exceed five dollars for fingerprinting an applicant."

SECTION    2.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
