What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, an individual who applies for a license to carry a concealed weapon must fulfill a training requirement, which can be done by completing a specified course, including the following: a firearms safety or training course conducted by a national or state organization that certifies firearms instructors; a firearms safety or training course that is offered by a law enforcement agency; a firearms safety or training course that is taught by an instructor who is certified by a national or state organization or by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that is offered by a technical college, a college, or a university, or a firearms training school; and a firearms safety or training course that is offered to law enforcement officers or to licensed private detective and security agencies. This bill prohibits DOJ from setting an hourly minimum for the firearms safety or training course and, from requiring the course to test the individual's comprehension and application of firearms safety rules and safe firearms handling. The bill also prohibits DOJ from requiring, as a condition for certification as an instructor of a firearms safety or training course, a certain minimum length of training.
Current law requires an applicant for a license to submit a copy of a document, or an affidavit from an instructor or organization that conducted the course or program, that indicates that the applicant completed the course. This bill prohibits DOJ from requiring the document or affidavit to include the length of the course, the city or state in which the course was completed, and a statement signed by the instructor that the course satisfies the training requirements for the license.
