TO AMEND THE LAW CONCERNING LICENSES TO CARRY CONCEALED HANDGUNS.

House Bill 1686 amends Arkansas law concerning licenses to carry concealed handguns, affecting current and future licensees. The bill clarifies that law enforcement officers will confiscate a license upon arrest for certain violations and hold it until the charge is finalized. It also allows licensees to use an electronic copy of their license and requires them to display it, along with identification, upon request by an officer. Additionally, the bill introduces a 50% fee reduction for individuals aged 65 or older when requesting a replacement or duplicate license.
