HB 22-1033

House Bill 22-1033, also known as the Constitutional Carry of a Handgun bill, allows people who are at least 21 years old and legally allowed to possess a handgun under federal and state laws to carry concealed handguns without needing a permit. This means anyone符合条件的21岁及以上的人可以在不需要许可证的情况下隐蔽携带手枪。该法案还取消了地方当局对公开或隐蔽携带手枪进行监管的权利，并将现有的许可有效期延长为持有人的一生，但临时紧急许可除外。 目前该法案已经签署成为法律，这意味着在科罗拉多州，符合条件的个人可以自由选择是否申请许可证来携带隐藏的手枪，而无需担心违反当地关于持枪的规定。

Official Summary

The bill grants a person who is at least 21 years old and permitted to possess a handgun pursuant to federal and state law the same authority to carry a concealed handgun as a person who holds a permit to carry a concealed handgun (permit). A person who carries a concealed handgun without a permit has the same rights, limitations, and authority to carry as a person who holds a permit. A person may obtain a permit for the purpose of using the permit to carry a concealed handgun in another state that recognizes a Colorado permit. Under existing law, a permit is valid for 5 years. The bill makes a permit valid for the life of the permit holder. Existing permits, other than temporary emergency permits, are converted to lifetime permits. Because permits are valid for the life of the holder, the bill repeals provisions relating to the renewal of permits. The bill repeals the temporary emergency permit to carry a concealed handgun. The bill repeals local government authority to regulate open or concealed carry of a handgun, including repealing the authority of special districts and the governing boards of institutions of higher education, as applicable. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
