Firearms: concealed carry licenses.

The document was reformatted from an official chaptered legislative document (with page numbers, 'O' markers, and formal layout) to a web page display of the same bill text. All substantive legal provisions remain identical: concealed carry licenses extended to 3 years for general applicants, 90 days for employment-based licenses, and 4 years for certain custodial officers and peace officers.

New concealed carry licenses are now valid for up to three years instead of two years from the date of issuance. Renewal licenses remain at six years.

Removed a separate provision (former subdivision (c)) that specifically granted a three-year validity period to judges of California courts of record, full-time court commissioners, federal judges, and federal magistrates. These individuals now fall under the general three-year rule for new licenses.

Renumbered subdivisions: former subdivision (d) (custodial officers under Section 831.5) became subdivision (c), and former subdivision (e) (peace officers appointed under Section 830.6) became subdivision (d). Conforming cross-reference changes were made throughout.

Removed the reference to 'subdivision (c) of Section 26210' as an exception in the opening language of Section 26220(a).

The bill's chapter number was assigned as Chapter 44, replacing the blank placeholder in the enrolled version.

The Governor's approval date (June 30, 2026) and filing date were inserted, replacing the blank placeholders for date, time, and signature lines present in the enrolled version.

Header and formatting changed from the enrolled bill format (showing Assembly and Senate passage dates with clerk signatures) to the authenticated electronic legal material format used for chaptered bills.
