summary

This amendment amends Committee Amendment "A" to remove the requirement that the State Police establish a centralized database containing information about concealed handgun permit holders and applicants for concealed handgun permits.

This amendment also requires the Chief of the State Police to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states regarding recognition of concealed handgun permits. Public Law 2015, chapter 144 requires Maine to recognize a permit to carry a concealed handgun issued by another state. This amendment does not affect that.
