Rep. Johnson’s HB 201 passed this session which makes it easier for Alaskans to remember to renew their permits for concealed carry handguns. While Alaska does not require a permit, Alaska has a reciprocal agreement with 34 other states that do require the permit. This means that Alaskans possessing the permit can carry a concealed weapon in those states but must have a permit to do so.
HB 201 changes the renewal date for the permit from five years from the date of issue to five years from the holder’s birthday in an effort to make it easier for the individual to remember to renew their permit.
