Requires retired law enforcement officers to qualify in use of firearm once a year.

This bill (A1262) would change the requirement for retired law enforcement officers permitted to carry firearms from semi-annual qualification (twice yearly) to annual qualification (once yearly). It applies to retired officers who retired in good standing, are 75 years of age or younger, and are not subject to any disqualifications that would prevent firearm possession. The bill amends New Jersey law to update the frequency of required firearm proficiency testing for this specific group. This change would reduce the number of required qualification events from two to one per year for eligible retired officers.
