AB473,1,3
1An Act to create 20.455 (2) (gu) of the statutes;
relating to: fees from retired
2law enforcement officers seeking to carry concealed weapons and making an
3appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill creates an appropriation account into which the Department of Justice
(DOJ) may deposit any fees that DOJ charges retired law enforcement officers who
are seeking a certification card that will allow them to carry concealed weapons. The
creation of the appropriation account is contingent upon passage of another bill that
makes certain changes in Wisconsin law to account for a federal law that requires
the state to permit an individual who has retired from working as a law enforcement
officer to carry a concealed firearm, regardless of any prohibition imposed under
state law, if the person meets certain qualifications and is carrying certain forms of
identification and certification.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
AB473, s. 1
