House Engrossed
Overview
Instructs the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) to send renewal reminders and
applications to concealed carry permit holders 60 days before the permit expires.
History
DPS is authorized to issue a permit to carry a concealed weapon, provided the applicant meets
specified criteria, such as being a United States citizen and demonstrating competence with a
firearm. A permit is valid for five years unless the individual is a member of the armed forces and
deployed overseas, in which case the permit is extended for 90 days after the individual's
deployment ends. Before a permit can be renewed, DPS must conduct a criminal history check
on the applicant. DPS is required to conduct the criminal history check within 60 days of receiving
the application for renewal (A.R.S. § 13-3112).
