Bill > HB06619

This bill requires the Attorney General of Connecticut to negotiate and establish reciprocal firearm carry permit agreements with other states that have comparable standards for permit issuance. Specifically, the bill mandates that these agreements will recognize firearm carry permits from other states, but only if those states have substantially similar requirements for permit holders, including standards related to the applicant's age, background investigation, and training. These standards are to be evaluated against Connecticut's existing requirements as outlined in section 29-28(b) of the state's general statutes. The primary purpose of the bill is to create a framework for interstate recognition of firearm carry permits, ensuring that individuals with valid permits from states with rigorous screening processes can legally carry firearms in Connecticut, while maintaining a baseline level of safety and qualification standards across participating jurisdictions.
