The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1173, aims to establish uniform application requirements for obtaining a temporary state permit to carry a pistol or revolver. It seeks to amend section 29-28a of the general statutes by mandating that applicants provide specific documentation to the issuing authority. This includes a completed and notarized application form prescribed by the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection, proof of lawful presence in the United States, a certificate of completion for a pistol and revolver safety course, and two sets of fingerprints for a criminal history records check.

The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that all towns and cities adhere to the same criteria, standards, and procedures during the application process for temporary state permits. By standardizing these requirements, the bill aims to create consistency across the state, thereby simplifying the application process for both applicants and issuing authorities.
