Bill > AB1092

This bill modifies the duration of concealed carry firearm licenses in California, extending their validity period. Currently, such licenses are valid for up to 2 years, but the bill proposes a phased implementation of longer license terms. Specifically, for licenses issued between January 1, 2026, and January 1, 2027, the maximum duration will be 3 years, and for licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027, the maximum duration will be 4 years. The bill maintains existing provisions for licenses based on employment or business, which remain valid for up to 90 days and are only valid in the county of original issuance. Licensees are still required to provide a copy of their license to the licensing authority in their county of residence. This change aims to reduce the frequency of license renewals for concealed carry permit holders, potentially making the process more convenient for gun owners while maintaining existing safety and verification requirements.
