Summary
The bill changes Maryland’s handgun permit rules so that officers who retire in good standing get a permit that lasts five years instead of the standard two, and can renew it for additional five‑year periods. It also waives the application fee for these retirees. This gives former officers longer‑term carry rights without extra cost.
