AI Summary
This bill seeks to rename Ohio's concealed handgun licenses to "basic competency licenses" and remove the requirement for license holders to notify law enforcement that they are carrying a concealed handgun during a stop. The bill systematically replaces the term "concealed handgun license" with "basic competency license" across multiple sections of Ohio's Revised Code, affecting licensing procedures, restrictions, and requirements for carrying a concealed firearm. Key changes include modifying the language around how licensees must interact with law enforcement during traffic stops or other encounters, removing specific notification requirements, and adjusting various administrative procedures related to obtaining and maintaining the license. The bill appears to simplify the existing licensing process and reduce the burden on license holders by eliminating the explicit duty to inform officers about carrying a concealed weapon. The changes apply to both standard licenses and temporary emergency licenses, and the bill also repeals several existing sections of law related to the previous licensing framework.
