New York A03829 amends the penal law by modifying the definition of "licensing officer" to include the St. Lawrence county sheriff and judges or justices of a court of record having an office in St. Lawrence county. This change allows these officials to issue firearms licenses within their jurisdiction. The bill specifies that in other counties, the licensing officers remain as previously defined, such as the police commissioner in New York City and the county commissioner of police in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
