ARTICLE 5. Firearms and Baton Training Facilities
Section 7585.20

(a) A firearms training facility certificate, a firearms training instructor certificate, a baton training facility certificate, or a baton training instructor certificate which expires on or after January 1, 1985, shall be placed on a cyclical renewal and shall expire two years following the date of issuance or assigned renewal date. In order to implement the cyclical renewal, the population of licensees mentioned in this section shall be divided into 24 equal groups, the licenses of each group to expire on the last day of each successive month. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the bureau shall have authority to extend or shorten the first term of licensure following January 1, 1985, and to prorate the required license fee in order to implement this cyclical renewal. To renew an unexpired certificate, the certificate holder shall apply for renewal on a form prescribed by the director and pay the renewal fee prescribed by this chapter.

(b) If renewal is granted, evidence of renewal of the certificate that the director may prescribe shall be issued to the certificate holder.

(c) In the event the certificate holder fails to renew his or her training facility certificate, the certificate shall be automatically canceled, but may be reinstated within three years of the date of cancellation upon application for reinstatement and upon the payment of the reinstatement fee provided by this chapter. In the event the certificate holder fails to renew his or her training instructor certificate, the certificate shall be automatically canceled, but may be reinstated within 30 days of the date of cancellation upon application for reinstatement and upon the payment of the reinstatement fee provided by this chapter. Reinstatement of a canceled certificate shall not prohibit the bringing of disciplinary proceedings for any act committed in violation of this chapter during the period the certificate is canceled.

(d) A firearms training facility, a firearms training instructor, a baton training facility, or a baton training instructor whose certificate has not been renewed may obtain a new license only upon compliance with all of the provisions of this article relating to the issuance of an original certificate.

(e) A firearms training facility, firearms training instructor, baton training facility, or a baton training instructor certificate shall not be renewed until any and all fines assessed pursuant to Section 7587.7 and not resolved in accordance with the provisions of that section have been paid.

(Amended by Stats. 1998, Ch. 970, Sec. 18.6. Effective January 1, 1999.)
