The renewal form must meet the requirements specified in section 18-12-205 (1) for
an application.

permittee:
(I) The permittee shall submit to the renewing sheriff, in addition to the

the permit; and
(II) The renewing sheriff shall contact the office of the sheriff who issued the
permit and confirm that the issuing sheriff has not revoked or suspended the
permit.
(c) The sheriff shall verify pursuant to section 18-12-205 (4) that the

danger as described in section 18-12-203 (2) and shall either renew or deny the
