|
| HB 286 |
Requires 8 hours of training for new and renewal applicants. Department of Safety can choose whatever regulations it likes and approve instructors to teach it. Must include live fire.
This one is worse than HB 259, it would allow the state to appove of only a small group of instructors so that it would be hard to take a class. At 8 hours in length it would have to be either weekend or multiple evening classes. Instructors are allowed to charge a reasonable fee, but no limit is stated so this would ammount to a $100+ fee increase for the GFL. The 8 hour class would be needed every time you renew as well.
