 Introduced by Sen. ORTT -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to reciprocity for pistol
 permit applications for military personnel

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 4-b of section 400.00 of the penal law, as
 2 added by chapter 371 of the laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
 3 4-b. Processing of license applications. Applications for licenses
 4 shall be accepted for processing by the licensing officer at the time of
 5 presentment. Except upon written notice to the applicant specifically
 6 stating the reasons for any delay, in each case the licensing officer
 7 shall act upon any application for a license pursuant to this section
 8 within six months of the date of presentment of such an application to
 9 the appropriate authority. Such delay may only be for good cause and
 10 with respect to the applicant. In acting upon an application, the
 11 licensing officer shall either deny the application for reasons specif-
 12 ically and concisely stated in writing or grant the application and
 13 issue the license applied for. An application for a license pursuant to
 14 this section for any active member of the armed forces of the United
 15 States shall be acted upon by the licensing officer within sixty days of
 16 the date of submission of such an application to the appropriate author-
 17 ity provided such active member of the armed forces is duly licensed to
 18 carry a pistol or firearm by another jurisdiction within the United
 19 States. Nothing shall proscribe the issuing of a license pursuant to
 20 this section so long as the applicant who is an active member of the
 21 armed forces, submits the appropriate documentation accompanying the
 22 application and submits proof of a previously obtained license issued by
 23 another state.
 24 § 2. The penal law is amended by adding a new section 400.15 to read
 25 as follows:

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 § 400.15 Reciprocity for qualified military personnel.
 2 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any
 3 active member of the armed forces of the United States who is duly
 4 licensed to carry a pistol or firearm by another jurisdiction within the
 5 United States shall be allowed to carry such pistol or firearm within
 6 New York state for a period of time not to exceed ninety days, and for
 7 the period of time an application is pending under section 400.00 of
 8 this article.
 9 2. Persons carrying a firearm under the provisions of this section
 10 shall be required to: (a) carry the out-of-state permit together with
 11 valid military identification whenever the person is carrying the pistol
 12 or firearm and (b) disclose to any law enforcement officer that the
 13 person holds a valid permit and is carrying a pistol or firearm when
 14 approached or addressed by the officer, and shall display both the
 15 permit and the proper military identification upon the request of a law
 16 enforcement officer.
 17 § 3. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 18 have become a law.
