Senate Bill 306 passed out of the House Federal and State Affairs today, Friday, March 19, and will be heard on the House floor as early as next week. 

SB306 contains the same language as Senate Bill 504.  As written, the bill would remove many redundant and burdensome provisions of the statute and could allow for a much smoother issuing and renewal process.  SB306 would also lower the initial application and renewal fee.

NRA has been working closely with the Kansas State Rifle Association (KSRA) and the Attorney General's office to clean up and streamline the state's concealed carry statute.
 
Please contact your State Representative and respectfully urge him or her to support SB306.  Contact information for your State Representative can be found by clicking here or by using the links below.
