Firearms; criminal penalty established for failure to inform of one's concealed possession under certain circumstances

HB 58 proposes to repeal Section 13A-11-95 of the Code of Alabama. This existing law currently requires individuals carrying a concealed pistol to inform a law enforcement officer of their possession under certain circumstances. If enacted, the bill would eliminate this specific duty to inform, thereby removing any potential criminal penalty for failing to do so. This change would affect interactions between individuals with concealed firearms and law enforcement officers, becoming effective on October 1, 2025.
