Issuance, expiration, and renewal of certification to carry a concealed deadly weapon pursuant to the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act of 2004 (“LEOSA”), 18 U.S.C. 926C, for honorably retired elected or appointed peace officers, has been filed with the Legislative Research Commission for amendment. This administrative regulation establishes the requirements and procedures for the issuance, expiration, and renewal of a LEOSA license. This amendment updates the regulation to reflect current practices and procedures for issuance, expiration, and renewal of a LEOSA license. An electronic notification process is provided for issuance, expiration and renewal of LEOSA licenses. A reference related to operator’s license or identification card issued by circuit court clerks is revised to the Transportation Cabinet. The prior notice of expiration is reduced to ninety days from one-hundred-twenty days. This amendment updates the title and format of the KSP-123 “Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act Peace Officer Range Qualification Certification” form. The KSP-124B “LEOSA Law Enforcement Retirement Certification” form is updated to allow for years, months, and dates of service to be documented.
