Bill > AB1948

This bill amends existing California law regarding concealed carry licenses for firearms, primarily by extending the validity periods for these licenses. Specifically, it changes the duration of a new concealed carry license from a maximum of two years to a maximum of three years, and a renewal license from a maximum of two years to a maximum of six years. The bill also makes conforming changes to other sections of the law that specify license durations for certain individuals, such as custodial officers and peace officers appointed under Section 830.6 of the Penal Code, adjusting their license validity to a maximum of four years. These changes aim to provide longer periods of validity for individuals who meet the requirements to carry a concealed firearm.
