New York State Court Officers Practice Exam

What is HR 218?

1. Authorization to carry out-of-state firearms.

2. Health regulation for court staff.

3. Human Resources policy for officers.

4. The transportation department.

The correct answer is: Authorization to carry out-of-state firearms.

HR 218, commonly known as the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA), allows qualified law enforcement officers, including retired officers, to carry concealed firearms across state lines without needing a concealed carry permit for each state. This legislation is essential for ensuring that law enforcement personnel can maintain their ability to protect themselves and others, regardless of where they travel, while recognizing the unique circumstances and responsibilities that come with their training and experience. The other options do not accurately reflect the meaning of HR 218. Health regulations and human resources policies pertain to operational standards and employee management, while the transportation department relates to transportation services and infrastructure, which are not connected to the legislation concerning firearm carry authorization for law enforcement.
