CCW UPDATE FOR SACRAMENTO COUNTY RESIDENTS
Assembly Bill 1948 (AB 1948) was recently signed into law and, beginning January 1, 2027, standard California CCW licenses may be issued for up to three years, an increase from the current two-year license term.
If you already have a CCW license, it will remain valid until the expiration date printed on your permit. Existing licenses will not automatically be extended to three years. New and renewal CCW licenses issued on or after January 1, 2027, may be eligible for the new three-year term, provided all statutory requirements are met.
While the license term is changing, the eligibility requirements are not. Background checks, fi****ms training, and all other requirements under California law will remain in effect.
