California Assembly Bill 1948 Changes CCW License Terms Effective January 1, 2027

The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office is providing notice of an upcoming change to California law affecting Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) licenses.

Beginning January 1, 2027, Assembly Bill 1948 (AB 1948) will change the maximum validity period for standard California CCW licenses. Under the new law, qualifying CCW licenses issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, may be valid for up to 3 years, instead of the current maximum of 2 years.

What This Means for Current CCW License Holders:

Existing CCW licenses will not automatically be extended as a result of this change.

If you currently hold a CCW license, your permit will remain valid until the expiration date printed on your license. Permit holders should continue to follow the renewal process and timelines provided by the issuing agency.

The updated license term will apply to qualifying CCW licenses issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2027, consistent with California law and issuing agency procedures.

What Is Not Changing:

AB 1948 only changes the maximum duration of a CCW license term. It does not change the requirements for obtaining or renewing a CCW license.

Applicants and permit holders must continue to meet all existing requirements, including:

• Background and eligibility requirements
• Required fi****ms training
• The application and review process
• Fi****ms qualification requirements
• Compliance with all laws regarding the possession and carrying of fi****ms
CCW holders remain responsible for understanding and following all applicable federal, state, and local laws related to fi***rm possession and carrying.

Sheriff’s Office Update:

The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office is preparing to implement AB 1948 and will update policies, procedures, application materials, and public information as needed.

For questions regarding the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office CCW licensing program, please contact the Sheriff’s Office or visit our official website.
