House Bill No. by Representative Robby Carter enacts R.S. 11:610, which allows retired commissioned officers employed by the Department of Agriculture and Forestry to purchase their service firearms upon retirement. To qualify, these officers must have at least ten years of active service and retire under the provisions of R.S. 11:441. The purchase of the firearm will be at fair market value and requires the approval of the commissioner of agriculture and forestry.

The bill outlines the criteria for eligibility and establishes the process for the purchase of service firearms for eligible retired officers. It will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature, as specified in the Louisiana Constitution. If the bill is vetoed and later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
