HOUSE BILL NO. 2056
As Recommended by Senate Committee on

Senate Sub. for HB 2056 would amend the Personal
and Family Protection Act (Act) to update statutory citations

possess a concealed carry license and to require the
surrender of suspended or revoked concealed carry licenses
to the Office of the Attorney General. The bill would also
make technical changes.

Background
The Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
removed the contents of HB 2056, inserted the contents of
SB 523, and recommended a substitute bill.

changed the deadline for all advance voting ballots to be
received by the county election officer from the third day
following the date of the election to 7:00 p.m. on the date of
the election. This would have included advance voting ballots
received by mail, in the office of the county election officer,
