RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 288 (HB 67) 2015 Regular Session Cox
Existing law provides for the crime of illegal carrying of weapons and provides exceptions
to the crime for a retired justice or judge of the supreme court, courts of appeal, district
courts, parish courts, juvenile courts, family courts, and city courts.
New law expands this existing law exception to include retired district attorneys and retired
assistant district attorneys. Further provides that existing law does not apply to retired
justices or judges of the supreme court, courts of appeal, district courts, parish courts,
juvenile courts, family courts, and city courts, retired district attorneys, and retired assistant
district attorneys if they have entered a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to or been found
guilty of a felony offense.
Prior law required the retired justice or judge to be P.O.S.T. certified.
New law requires all excepted justices, judges, district attorneys, or assistant district
attorneys to qualify annually by P.O.S.T.
New law defines "retired district attorney" and "retired assistant district attorney".
Effective August 1, 2015.
