What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill creates an appropriation account into which the Department of Justice (DOJ) may deposit any fees that DOJ charges retired law enforcement officers who are seeking a certification card that will allow them to carry concealed weapons. The creation of the appropriation account is contingent upon passage of another bill that makes certain changes in Wisconsin law to account for a federal law that requires the state to permit an individual who has retired from working as a law enforcement officer to carry a concealed firearm, regardless of any prohibition imposed under state law, if the person meets certain qualifications and is carrying certain forms of identification and certification.
