There have been “shall issue” bills before and this one will most likely be DOA like the rest of them.

They have not struck out the good cause portion in the entirety of the bill and here always is the good moral character loop hole.
This bill is in its infancy and needs quite a bit more tightening up. It still is a glimmer of hope but I will believe it when I see its on governors desk
That is exactly what it does. It strikes the good cause clause, at least according to the link YOU posted.
