Kearns Reminds Pistol Permit Holders of Recertification Process Deadline
ERIE COUNTY, NY - Erie County Kearns wants to remind New York State Pistol Permit Holders that they need to complete their recertification process with the New York State Police (NYSP) in order to be in compliance with the NYSAFE Act. Under New York State law, if an individual’s permit was issued prior to January 15, 2013, the deadline to submit your recertification to the State was January 31, 2018 and every five years thereafter. However, if your license was issued on or after January 15, 2013, the deadline recertify with the State is five years after the date the license was issued and every five years thereafter. To clarify, the next fiveyear due date is here for some, but not all pistol permit holders.
For example, a pistol permit holder who recertified on January 15, 2017 would be due to recertify with the State by January 15, 2022. A pistol permit holder who recertified on March 8, 2017 would be due to recertify with the State by March 8, 2022. A pistol permit holder who recertified on January 15, 2018 would be due to recertify with the State by January 15, 2023. Applications can be submitted to the State online or mailed-in. To submit your recertification online or to see when your current recertification expires please visit the New York State Police website at firearms. troopers.ny.gov/pprecer t/ welcome.faces. Forms are also available online at safeact.ny.gov/pistol-permit-recertification or at State Police stations throughout the
state mailed to the return address listed on the form. Your recertification status can be checked at firea r m s . t r o o p e r s . n y. g o v / pprecert. According to the NYSP, your status will be “No recertification on file” until your information has been entered into the State system, so please allow sufficient time for mailing and data entry. If you are experiencing technical difficulties with the electronic recertification process, please contact the New York State Information Technology Services (ITS) Service Desk at 1-844891-1786. All other questions should be directed to the New York State Police at 1-855-LAWGUNS (1-855529-4867) as the Erie County Pistol Permit Department cannot answer explicit questions related to the recertification process.
Searles: NY budget flush with cash in contrast to recent years BY RICK MILLER LITTLE VALLEY, NY — Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget was vastly different than the recent budgets offered by her predecessor, Cattaraugus County Administrator Jack Searles observed Friday. The state budget was developed “in an environment where they have some funds to spend,” Searles said. “That has not been the cases with past budgets.” A good share of that money came from the federal infrastructure bill and went directly to the state, Searles said. “Information is still coming out. Overall, I think it’s a fairly positive budget for the county.” The new methodology is that spending is up and so are new programs. “This is just the first salvo,” Searles said. The legislature will negotiate and they will hash out details with the governor. There doesn’t seem to be any new funding streams for aid to county roads and bridges, but there’s no cut either in the CHIPS program, which saw a large boost last year, Searles said. There were some substantial increases for cold
weather funding. There’s also new pothole funding. “These are all wonderful ideas, but we don’t know how they translate to our county yet,” Searles said. The governor said she wanted $250 million to renew a program to let local governments rehabilitate or demolish blighted properties. “What we don’t know is whether it would be a grant program or run through our existing land bank.” Another “good new” item in the governor’s budget is Houchul’s proposal to maintain the Medicaid cap instituted by Andrew Cuomo when he was governor. Searles said that with the growth of Medicaid, this will save the county money while expanding healthcare.
“We are happy and pleased that the governor has chosen to continue that,” he added. “Counties across the state have advocated for this.” Counties were also concerned about the state continuing to withhold sales tax payments for Aid and Incentives to Municipalities and distressed hospital and nursing home collections, Searles said. The budget cuts AIM payments to municipalities, but maintains the distressed hospital and nursing home payment from county sales taxes, he said. “We’re fairly happy with the budget,” Searles said. “You can always find something you don’t like, but there’s a lot to like about in this budget.”
