1998 SESSION
HB 757 Concealed weapons.
Introduced by: Robert Tata (by request) | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Concealed handguns. Referred to as the omnibus concealed handgun bill, the bill contains a number of provisions. It allows retired special ABC Board agents with a service related disability or 15 years of service to carry a concealed handgun with permission from the Board in lieu of obtaining a permit and includes a reciprocity provision for the entire class of retired law-enforcement officers exempt from obtaining a permit. The bill allows the court that issued a concealed handgun permit to suspend the permit of an individual charged with a felony or other specified charges. The bill also allows the issuing court to suspend a permit held by a person adjudicated mentally incapacitated or involuntarily committed subsequent to receiving the permit. The bill clarifies that applications are complete when all required information is furnished to the clerk, thus triggering the 45-day period for issuance. It also eliminates the requirement that the permit include the holder's social security number and provides that a person found guilty of being under the influence and carrying a concealed handgun forfeits his permit for five years. The bill allows any sworn law-enforcement officer to carry a concealed handgun in a restaurant or club. Retired Immigration and Naturalization Service law-enforcement officers are added to the list of retired law-enforcement officers exempt from the regular permit fee. This bill combines HBs 520, 558, 614 and 954.
