Relating to Off Duty LEO and LEOSA Exemptions

HB 4374 allows off-duty and retired law enforcement officers (LEOs) to carry concealed handguns in the West Virginia State Capitol Complex, including the Capitol building and grounds, under specific conditions. It directly affects current and retired LEOs who meet agency requirements and out-of-state officers covered by the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA). Key provisions require officers to show agency-issued credentials when requested, prohibit carrying in the Governor’s office, Supreme Court chambers, and certain other areas, and specify that officers must comply with their agency’s firearm policies. The bill does not override federal restrictions or apply to officers denied concealed carry permits.
