What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires that a person who applies to the Department of Justice for a

license to carry a concealed weapon undergo at least six hours of training, one hour

of which involves shooting range experience and each session of which is limited to

25 participants. Current law requires training for licensure but does not specify

duration or class size and also prohibits DOJ from requiring that live ammunition

be fired as part of the training requirement.
