Bill Summary

This bill would require retired law enforcement officers to qualify in the use of a firearm once per year rather than every six months. Under current law, a person who has retired in good standing after serving as a regularly employed, full-time law enforcement officer may carry a firearm provided the person: (1) is 75 years of age or younger; (2) is not subject to any of the disabilities which would disqualify the retired officer from possessing or carrying a firearm; and (3) semi-annually qualifies in the use of a firearm. This bill would require the retired law enforcement officer to qualify in the use of a firearm once per year rather than semi-annually.

AI Summary

This bill would require retired law enforcement officers to qualify in the use of a firearm once per year rather than every six months. Under current law, retired law enforcement officers who are 75 years of age or younger and not subject to any disqualifying disabilities may carry a firearm if they semi-annually qualify in its use. This bill would change that requirement to an annual qualification.
