  • Persons applying for exemptions under certain categories (retired officers, military veterans, out-of-state peace officers, and CLEET-certified personnel) may still be required to complete the classroom portion of the training course.

  • CLEET shall establish proof requirements for exemptions and may charge a fee not to exceed $5.00 for processing exemption certificates, which must be submitted with handgun license applications.
