AN ACT
Amending Title 18 (Crimes and Offenses) of the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Statutes, in firearms and other dangerous
articles, further providing for licenses.
The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
hereby enacts as follows:
Section 1. Section 6109(i) of Title 18 of the Pennsylvania
Consolidated Statutes is amended to read:
§ 6109. Licenses.
* * *
(i) Revocation.--[A license to carry firearms may be revoked
by the issuing authority for good cause. A]
(1) Except as provided under paragraph (2), a license to
carry firearms shall be revoked by the issuing authority for
any reason stated in subsection (e)(1) which occurs during
the term of the permit. Notice of revocation shall be in
writing and shall state the specific reason for revocation.
Notice shall be sent by certified mail to the individual
whose license is revoked, and, at that time, notice shall
also be provided to the Pennsylvania State Police by
electronic means, including e-mail or facsimile transmission,
that the license is no longer valid. An individual whose
license is revoked shall surrender the license to the issuing
authority within five days of receipt of the notice. An
individual whose license is revoked may appeal to the court
of common pleas for the judicial district in which the
individual resides. An individual who violates this section
commits a summary offense.
(2) If a revocation of a license to carry firearms is
based on subsection (e)(1)(i) or for good cause not otherwise
specifically enumerated under subsection (e)(1), the issuing
authority shall provide the licensee notice via certified
mail of intent to revoke the license. The licensee shall have
a right to an evidentiary hearing before the court of common
pleas for the judicial district in which the individual
resides prior to the revocation. If the licensee fails to
respond to a notice of intention to revoke within 30 days,
the issuing authority may revoke the license and the
individual shall be deemed to have waived the right to appeal
the revocation.
* * *
Section 2. This act shall take effect in 90 days.
