The bill introduces an enhanced concealed carry permit in Wyoming, allowing applicants to apply for this permit in addition to the standard concealed carry permit. To qualify for the enhanced permit, applicants must provide evidence of having received firearm training within the past year, which can be demonstrated through employment as a peace officer or completion of a certified firearms safety course. The training must cover fundamental firearm use, successful completion of a shooting qualification, and legal aspects of firearm possession and use. Additionally, individuals under the age of 21 are ineligible for the enhanced permit.

The bill mandates that the attorney general notify relevant agencies in other states about the new enhanced concealed carry permit and work towards achieving permit reciprocity with states that have similar requirements. The attorney general is also tasked with creating necessary rules for the implementation of this act by July 1, 2023. The act is set to take effect on the same date, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the completion of legislative processes.
