A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to the eligibility of a retired peace officer for a
1-3 license to carry a concealed handgun.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 411.199(a), Government Code, is amended
1-6 to read as follows:
1-7 (a) A person who is licensed as a peace officer under
1-8 Chapter 415 and who has been employed full-time as a peace officer
1-9 by a law enforcement agency may apply for a license under this
1-10 subchapter at any time after [on] retirement. [The application
1-11 must be made not later than the first anniversary after the date of
1-12 retirement.]
1-13 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-14 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-15 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-16 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-17 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-18 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-19 passage, and it is so enacted.
