AB 1092 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Firearms: concealed carry licenses.

Summary

Existing law prohibits a person from carrying a concealed firearm or carrying a loaded firearm in public. Existing law requires a licensing authority to issue or renew a license to carry a firearm capable of being concealed if specified conditions are met, including, among others, that the applicant is not a disqualified person for the license, as specified, and the applicant has completed a specified course of training. Existing law makes a new or renewal license that is issued valid for a period of time not to exceed 2 years from the date of the license, except as otherwise provided. This bill would, for a license issued after January 1, 2026, and before January 1, 2027, extend the duration of those licenses to a period of time not to exceed 3 years from the date of the license. The bill would, for a license issued after January 1, 2027, extend the duration of those licenses to a period of time not to exceed 4 years from the date of the license.

MINOR

AB 1092 was amended to replace an immediate extension of concealed carry license duration from 2 years to 4 years with a phased approach: licenses issued between January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027 will be valid for up to 3 years, and licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027 will be valid for up to 4 years. The amendment also removed a cross-reference to a special provision for custodial officers in the employment-based license subsection.

TIMELINE

The license duration extension is now phased rather than immediate. Licenses issued after January 1, 2026 and before January 1, 2027 get a maximum of 3 years (not 4), and the full 4-year duration only applies to licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027.

SCOPE

The original bill would have applied the 4-year duration to all new and renewal concealed carry licenses immediately upon enactment. The amended version delays the full 4-year period by one year for a transition cohort.

TECHNICAL

A reference to 'subdivision (d)' in the employment-based license provision (subsection b) was removed, suggesting the special custodial officer provision was restructured or eliminated as part of the phased approach.
