HB 38 Original 2023 Regular Session Stagni
Abstract: Removes the requirement of annual P.O.S.T. qualification for the use of firearms by
qualified retired law enforcement officers.
Present law (R.S. 40:1379.1.4) permits an individual who is a qualified retired law enforcement
officer to carry a concealed firearm anywhere in the state, including any place open to the public, if
he meets certain eligibility criteria.
Proposed law retains present law.
Present law (R.S. 40:1379.1.4(B)(5)) requires a qualified retired law enforcement officer to qualify
annually for P.O.S.T. Council certification and to provide proof of such certification.
Proposed law repeals present law.
