House Bill No. [insert number] enacts R.S. 11:610, which allows retired commissioned officers employed by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to purchase their service firearms upon retirement. To qualify for this purchase, the officers must have at least ten years of active service and retire under the provisions of R.S. 11:441. The purchase is subject to the approval of the commissioner of agriculture and forestry and will be made at fair market value.

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 a 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.
