The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6621, seeks to amend current statutes to permit sworn police officers, who possess proper identification, to carry their firearms throughout the state of Connecticut. This provision is intended to enhance the ability of law enforcement to respond effectively to incidents, ensuring they are equipped to maintain public safety.

The bill specifies that the authority for police officers to carry firearms is subject to the limitations imposed by federal law, thereby ensuring compliance with existing federal regulations. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text, as the bill introduces new legal language to facilitate this change in policy.
