The bill proposes the addition of a new section, 571.165, to chapter 571 of Missouri law, which specifically addresses the conceal-carry rights of retired law enforcement officers. It defines key terms such as "law enforcement agency," "retired law enforcement identification card," and "retired officer," and establishes the requirement for law enforcement agencies to issue a retired law enforcement identification card to eligible retired officers upon payment of a $100 fee. The identification card must include specific information, such as the officer's photograph, personal details, and disclaimers regarding the conditions under which the cardholder may carry a concealed firearm. Additionally, the bill mandates that law enforcement agencies maintain a roster of retired officers who have been issued identification cards and allows for the reissuance of lost cards for a fee of $150. It also provides that agencies may offer firearms training to retired officers to maintain their certification but are not required to do so. Fees collected under this section are to be used for activities related to the implementation of the new provisions.
