House Bill 2317 amends the Government Code to require the Department of Public Safety to waive any fee required for a handgun license for an applicant who is a qualifying honorably retired peace officer. Among other provisions, the bill exempts such an applicant who submits the appropriate fingerprints and applicable accompanying documentation and who meets all other requirements for the license from the requirement to complete the classroom instruction portion of the handgun proficiency course and exempts such an applicant who holds a certificate of weapons proficiency from the range instruction portion of the course.
