AN ACT ALLOWING POLICE OFFICERS TO CARRY FIREARMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
HB 6621 would allow sworn police officers in the state to carry their firearms anywhere within state boundaries, provided they present proper identification. This bill removes existing restrictions that previously limited where officers could carry weapons while on duty. The key provision states officers may carry firearms throughout the state, except where prohibited by federal law. The bill directly affects all sworn law enforcement officers who meet identification requirements, enabling consistent firearm carry during official duties. Its purpose is to standardize and simplify officers' ability to carry weapons statewide.
