LEOSA Reform Act

This bill updates the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA). It expands where qualified active and retired law enforcement officers can carry concealed firearms and ammunition, including magazines. It makes clear they may carry in school zones, in national parks, on state, local, or private property that is open to the public, and in some federal buildings that are open to the public. Those federal buildings are limited to public-access facilities with lower security levels (Facility Security Level I or II). It also lines up the school-zone law so LEOSA-authorized individuals are allowed to carry there.

The bill also eases training rules for retired officers. States may let them requalify less often—up to every 36 months—and the shooting standards can come from the former agency, the state, any law enforcement agency in the state, or a certified firearms instructor in the state.

• Who is affected: Qualified active and retired law enforcement officers.
• What changes: Carry allowed in school zones, national parks, public-access state/local/private property, and certain low-security federal facilities; ammo and magazines are included .
• Training updates: States can extend how often retired officers must requalify, up to 36 months, using state, agency, or certified-instructor standards.
