Revises provisions relating to firearms. (BDR 15-830)

AB 436 revises Nevada’s firearms laws to expand background check exemptions and standardize concealed carry permits. It removes the requirement that law enforcement or retired officers must be acting within their job duties for an exemption, adding qualified retired officers to the list of people exempt from background checks when selling firearms. The bill also mandates uniform statewide forms for concealed carry permit applications and requires sheriffs to verify that firearm safety courses meet statewide standards for permit renewals. Additionally, it allows non-resident retired officers to apply for certification and prohibits fees for background checks when verifying law enforcement or retired officer status.
