The bill establishes a framework for the issuance of enhanced concealed carry permits in Wyoming, allowing qualified individuals to carry concealed weapons in specified locations. The Attorney General is tasked with creating rules and an application process for these permits, which will require applicants to provide personal information, proof of firearms training, and undergo a background check. The bill outlines the necessary qualifications, including completion of a qualifying handgun course and a valid Wyoming identification. Enhanced permit holders will be allowed to carry concealed weapons in places such as schools and athletic events, subject to certain conditions.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to incorporate the new enhanced permit provisions, including the ability to carry concealed weapons in schools and other facilities, provided that local regulations permit it. It also specifies the grounds for revocation of permits and establishes a reporting requirement for the Attorney General regarding the number of permits issued, revoked, or denied. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, with immediate implementation of certain sections related to rulemaking.
