            House Bill 1083 amends the Government Code to require, rather than authorize, the law enforcement agency or governmental entity that was the last entity to appoint or employ an honorably retired peace officer as a peace officer to issue an identification card to the retired officer.   The bill makes that requirement contingent on the officer's request and applicable to an officer who holds a weapons proficiency certificate issued by a state or local law enforcement agency.
