Relating to certain procedures required for the denial of certain applications for a license to carry a handgun.

Contracts

• Employment Agreements: Update "Condition of Employment" clauses. Ensure language permits unpaid suspension or reassignment if an employee's license renewal is stalled by this new administrative review process.
• Client Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Review staffing guarantees. If your contract promises "fully licensed armed guards" within a set timeframe, you must account for potential 30-90 day delays caused by Medical Advisory Board (MAB) reviews. Force Majeure clauses likely do not cover these administrative delays.

Hiring/Training

• Recruitment Workflows: HR must adjust "Time-to-Hire" expectations. A medical flag is no longer an immediate disqualifier; it initiates a pause. Implement a "Pending Medical Review" status in your applicant tracking system.
• Renewal Monitoring: Initiate renewal reminders for armed staff 90 days earlier than current practice. The new "cure period" creates a risk of license gaps if the review drags past the expiration date.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Deadline Tracking: If managing licensure for employees, you must track the receipt date of any "Notice of Potential Denial." You have a strict window (minimum 30 days) to submit supplemental materials.
• Evidence Retention: If your organization provides affidavits attesting to an employee's "sound judgment" or safe storage practices, retain copies indefinitely in the employee's personnel file for liability defense.

Fees & Costs

• Direct Costs: No new state fees are introduced.
• Indirect Costs: Increased administrative overhead for HR/Legal teams managing the supplemental submission process. Potential revenue loss if billable staff are sidelined pending license clearance.
