21	21	The bill grants a person who is at least 21 years old and permitted
22	22	to possess a handgun pursuant to federal and state law the same authority
23	23	to carry a concealed handgun as a person who holds a permit to carry a
24	24	concealed handgun (permit). A person who carries a concealed handgun
25	25	without a permit has the same rights, limitations, and authority to carry as
26	26	a person who holds a permit. A person may obtain a permit for the
27	27	purpose of using the permit to carry a concealed handgun in another state

34	34	Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material to be added to existing statute.
35	35	Dashes through the words indicate deletions from existing statute. Under existing law, a permit is valid for 5 years. The bill makes a
36	36	permit valid for the life of the permit holder. Existing permits, other than
37	37	temporary emergency permits, are converted to lifetime permits. Because
38	38	permits are valid for the life of the holder, the bill repeals provisions
39	39	relating to the renewal of permits. The bill repeals the temporary
40	40	emergency permit to carry a concealed handgun.
41	41	The bill repeals local government authority to regulate open or
42	42	concealed carry of a handgun, including repealing the authority of special
43	43	districts and the governing boards of institutions of higher education, as
44	44	applicable.
