This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law authorizes the sheriff of a county or a chief or other head of a police department of a city or a city and county to issue a license to carry a concealed firearm upon proof that the person applying for the license is of good moral character, that good cause exists for the issuance, that the applicant satisfies specified residency requirements, and that the applicant has completed a course of specified training. Under existing law, a license issued to carry a concealed firearm is generally valid for any period of time not to exceed 2 years. This bill would, until January 1, 2031, make a license issued to carry a concealed firearm valid for any period of time not to exceed 4 years. The bill would require the Department of Justice, by no later than June 1, 2031, to prepare and submit a report to the Legislature analyzing the impact, if any, on extending the period of license validity on incidents involving licenseholders. The bill would make conforming changes.
