Bill > SB102

This bill establishes alternative expiration and renewal periods for a handgun permit issued to a retired law enforcement officer who retired in good standing from service with a law enforcement agency of the State or a county or municipal corporation of the State. Specifically, the bill states that such a permit: 1) Expires on the last day of the holder's birth month following 5 years after the date the permit is issued, instead of the standard 2-year expiration period. 2) May be renewed for successive periods of 5 years each, instead of the standard 3-year renewal period, as long as the applicant possesses the qualifications for the issuance of a permit at the time of renewal. The bill also exempts retired law enforcement officers from having to pay a fee to obtain or renew their handgun permit. The changes made by this bill are intended to provide retired law enforcement officers with longer-lasting and more convenient handgun permits.
