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 eight hours of training, one hour

of which involves shooting range experience. Current law requires training for

licensure but does not specify duration and also prohibits DOJ from requiring that

live ammunition be fired as part of the training requirement.
