Sub. H. B. No. 142 Summary

• Modifies concealed handgun license notification requirements during law enforcement stops by making disclosure of carried handgun conditional on officer request rather than mandatory.

• Changes notification from automatic requirement to only applying when officer specifically requests driver's license or state identification card during a traffic stop or law enforcement encounter.

• Eliminates the automatic affirmative duty to inform officers of concealed carry status; licensees must now only disclose if an officer requests identification.

• Applies to stops of vehicles (both regular and commercial motor vehicles) and requires hand visibility and compliance with officer orders but removes the standalone notification obligation.

• Maintains other concealed carry regulations regarding prohibited locations, license suspension procedures, penalties for violations, and protections for law enforcement interactions.
