Bill > HB329

This bill establishes alternative expiration and renewal periods for a handgun permit issued to a retired law enforcement officer of the State or a county or municipal corporation of the State. Specifically, the bill states that such a permit expires 5 years after the date it is issued, rather than the standard 2 years, and may be renewed for successive 5-year periods, rather than the standard 3-year periods. The bill also exempts retired law enforcement officers from the permit application fee. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
