AI Summary
- Creates s. 790.41, F.S., establishing a new licensure category for "enhanced firearms training facilities," defined as facilities on agriculturally zoned land used to train people in firearms use and personal safety, with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services overseeing licensure.
- Requires facility owners to pass a level 2 background screening (including state and federal fingerprint processing), have no felony convictions, complete the NRA Chief Range Safety Officer training program or equivalent, and hold a valid class "K" firearm instructor license.
- Allows the local sheriff to voluntarily provide a written attestation supporting a license application, confirming the property is sufficient in size and may fulfill a public safety training need, including use by law enforcement agencies.
- Licenses are valid for 12 months with annual renewal, and must be revoked if the owner is convicted of a felony or loses their class "K" firearm instructor license; sheriffs may enter agreements to conduct school guardian program training at these facilities.
- Exempts licensed enhanced firearms training facilities located in unincorporated county areas from local government planning, zoning, and public works restrictions; effective July 1, 2025.
