↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Allows physically disabled applicants for a concealed carry license to complete the required two-hour live-fire range training and proficiency demonstration while sitting rather than standing, so more such individuals can satisfy the licensing requirement.
if an applicant has a physical disability that prevents such applicant from being able to stand up or remain standing, and such applicant provides medical information necessary to verify the existence of such physical disability, such live-fire range training course and proficiency demonstration requirements may be completed while sitting down.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill's primary change expands access to concealed carry licenses for physically disabled individuals by permitting them to fulfill the live-fire training requirement while seated. The remainder of the text restates and slightly expands the list of required curriculum topics for the safety course but does not alter the underlying licensing rules, training hours, or proficiency standards in a way that expands or restricts firearms access overall.
