Removes requirement that certain special law enforcement officers turn in firearm at end of shift.
Bill A2727 removes the requirement for Class Two and Class Three special law enforcement officers to return their firearms at the end of each shift. Currently, these officers (who perform duties like municipal policing or court security) must turn in weapons to station house staff after shifts, but the bill eliminates this administrative step. The change applies only to the shift-end turn-in rule and does not alter existing off-duty carry rights - Class Three officers already have off-duty carry authorization under separate provisions. This update streamlines operations for officers who are statutorily permitted to carry weapons while on duty.
