Bill > HB106

This bill modifies the Concealed Handgun Carry Act in New Mexico by changing the requirements for renewing a concealed handgun license. Specifically, it now requires a four-hour refresher firearms training course approved by the department as part of the renewal process, which can be submitted up to ninety days before the license expires. The bill also eliminates the previous requirement for a two-hour refresher course taken two years after the original or renewed license was issued. Additionally, when renewing a license, the department will update the criminal records check without requiring new fingerprints, and a license can now be renewed up to ninety days after it has expired, after which a new application will be necessary.
