Bill > H0573

This bill amends existing Idaho law concerning enhanced licenses to carry concealed weapons by allowing a broader range of individuals to provide instruction on Idaho law regarding firearms and the use of deadly force. Previously, this instruction could only be delivered by active, senior, or emeritus members of the Idaho State Bar, or by law enforcement officers with specific training certifications. This bill expands that to include instructors certified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) or an equivalent organization, provided they have at least eight years of experience teaching an approved course for enhanced concealed carry. The bill also makes a technical correction and declares an emergency, setting an effective date of July 1, 2026.
