The bill amends Section 790.051 of the Florida Statutes to clarify the concealed carry licensing requirements for law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and military servicemembers. It specifies that these individuals are considered compliant with concealed weapons and firearms licensing requirements if they possess valid employer-issued identification. The bill removes the previous language that referred to an exemption from licensing requirements and instead establishes that these officers and servicemembers are deemed licensed to carry concealed weapons or firearms while performing their official duties.

The new legal language includes definitions for law enforcement officers, correctional officers, and servicemembers, aligning them with existing statutes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that these individuals can carry concealed weapons without the need for additional licensing, provided they have the appropriate identification.
