Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Armed off-duty officers gain privacy protections
Building authorities cannot request, require, or record personal information from off-duty officers authorized to enter armed under this law. Protected information includes email addresses, home phone numbers, and home addresses. Authorities also cannot require officers to wear items identifying them as officers or as armed. Officers must follow agency firearms policies and carry agency-required identification. They must present that identification when another officer or a building authority requests it.
Military applicants can skip Kansas ID
Active-duty service members and their dependents can omit a Kansas driver's license or state ID number from concealed handgun applications. They must prove their active-duty or dependent status and have neither Kansas identification document.
Young license holders get standard licenses
Provisional concealed handgun license holders can request a standard license once the attorney general confirms they are at least 21. The standard license covers only the provisional license's remaining term. The attorney general must send notice of this option at least 60 days before the holder's 21st birthday. At renewal, holders with valid provisional licenses receive standard licenses if they have not already received one.
Tighter checks for concealed handgun licenses
Listed federal or Kansas bans on shipping, transporting, possessing, or receiving firearms or ammunition block a concealed handgun license. The attorney general must deny applications and renewals from people who are ineligible under Kansas licensing law. The attorney general must also revoke licenses when holders become ineligible. Initial and renewal background checks must include the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
Suspended license holders must return cards
If your Kansas concealed handgun license is suspended or revoked, you must surrender the card or authorization document. The Kansas Division of Vehicles receives and destroys it. When a suspension ends, the attorney general must issue an authorization document covering the license's remaining unexpired term.
