(b) The date and time the receipt is issued.

(d) The name of the entity providing the fingerprint services.

receipt was issued, this receipt shall serve as a concealed pistol

license for the individual named in the receipt when carried with

an official state-issued driver license or personal identification

of statutory disqualification is issued by the county clerk. This

receipt does not exempt the individual named in the receipt from

alternative means. The county clerk shall not issue a notice of

statutory disqualification because an individual's fingerprints are

(9). The county clerk shall include an indication on the license if

an individual is exempt from the prohibitions against carrying a

concealed pistol on premises described in section 5o if the

applicant provides acceptable proof that he or she qualifies for

that exemption. If the county clerk receives notice from a county

sheriff or chief law enforcement officer that a licensee is no

longer a member of a sheriff's posse, an auxiliary officer, or a

reserve officer, the county clerk shall notify the licensee that he

or she shall surrender the concealed pistol license indicating that

the individual is exempt from the prohibitions against carrying a

concealed pistol on premises described in section 5o. The licensee

shall, within 30 days after receiving notice from the county clerk,

not issued under subsection (13) within 45 days after the date the

individual has classifiable fingerprints taken under subsection

(9), the receipt issued under subsection (9) serves as a concealed

pistol license for purposes of this act when carried with a state-

issued driver license or personal identification card and is valid

until a license or notice of statutory disqualification is issued

by the county clerk.

(15) If an individual licensed under this act to carry a

concealed pistol moves to a different county within this state, his

or her license remains valid until it expires or is otherwise

suspended or revoked under this act. An individual may notify a

county clerk that he or she has moved to a different address within

this state for the purpose of receiving the notice under section

5l(1). A license to carry a concealed pistol that is lost, stolen,

defaced, or replaced for any other reason may be replaced by the

issuing county clerk for a replacement fee of $10.00. A county

clerk shall deposit a replacement fee under this subsection in the

concealed pistol licensing fund of that county created in section

5x.

(16) If a license issued under this act is suspended or

revoked, the license is forfeited and the individual shall return

the license to the county clerk forthwith by mail or in person. The

county clerk shall retain a suspended or revoked license as an

official record 1 year after the expiration of the license, unless

the license is reinstated or a new license is issued. The county

clerk shall notify the department of state police if a license is

suspended or revoked. The department of state police shall enter

license was suspended or revoked is guilty of a misdemeanor

punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of

not more than $500.00, or both.

licensing fund of that county created in section 5x.

individuals who are certified as qualified instructors as

prescribed under section 5j.

license under this act shall mail the license to the licensee by

first-class mail in a sealed envelope. Upon payment of the fee

under subsection (15), a county clerk shall issue a replacement

license in person at the time of application for a replacement

license. A county clerk may also deliver a replacement license by

first-class mail if the individual submits to the clerk a written

request and a copy of the individual's state-issued driver license

or personal identification card.
