HB 756 Original 2020 Regular Session Jenkins
Abstract: Requires the head of the office or agency from which a qualified law enforcement officer
has retired in good standing to issue identification to the officer for purposes of carrying a
concealed firearm.
Present law provides that an individual who is retired from service as a qualified law enforcement
officer and who was commissioned by the agency or office from which he retired and is carrying the
identification required by his office as a retired law enforcement officer, may carry a concealed
firearm anywhere in the state, including any place open to the public.
Present law provides that the retired law enforcement officer shall have identification which proves
he is a retired law enforcement officer.
Proposed law retains present law and requires the head of the office or agency from which the
individual has retired to issue identification required by the provisions of present law to each
qualified law enforcement officer that retires in good standing from the office or agency.
