233: Renewal of certification

You could also call this:

"How to renew a shooting club or range certificate"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you want to renew a certificate for a shooting club or range, you can do this one or more times. When you apply to renew your certificate, the same rules that apply to getting a new certificate will apply to you, unless some other conditions are met. You will be treated as if you have a new certificate. If nothing significant has changed at the shooting range in 5 years, you can use a special form to renew your certificate instead of following the usual process. This form must be approved by the chief executive. You will still get a new certificate when you renew it, just like you did the first time.

233Renewal of certification

  1. A certificate granted under section 229 may be renewed on 1 or more occasions.

  2. Sections 226 to 232 apply to an application for renewal of certification as if the application were an application for certification, unless subsection (4) applies.

  3. A renewed certificate is to be treated for all purposes as a new certification granted under section 229.

  4. If the circumstances of the shooting range have not changed significantly for 5 years, the applicant may initiate the renewal of the certification by using a form approved by the chief executive instead of applying under section 226.
