Is the text for the bill you are referencing available?

Re: HB48: No renewal class required
While I'm waiting I thought I'd give my view on carrying and training.
I am new to licensed concealed carry but I have been "carrying" for years. My dad gave me my first shotgun when I was 12 and my first rifle when I was 16. With each of those came instruction from him on where and when it was acceptable to carry those weapons and where and when it was acceptable to use them (at that time all geared around hunting).
Later in life my dad and I got in to shooting pistols for sport (started with black powder). I learned through those contacts he owned pistols for self and home defense.
When I bought pistols for myself, I talked with my dad at length about deadly force and where to go and find the laws.
Sprinkle in military training and practical application and that's how my mindset around when and where I carry and when and where I would use a weapon were formed.
The CHL course I took was good in terms of familiarizing me with the laws. That said, I have spent more time since I got out of the class trying to become familiar with them than I actually spent in the class (i.e. the class showed me where to look for the answer).
I think laws (especially around guns and carry rights) will be so volatile in the coming years that even if we had to renew yearly, we couldn't keep up with proposed changes from just a class.
I think a CHL license should take on a renewal requirement similar to that of a drivers license (i.e. as long as my status hasn't changed, renewal should be basically automatic (fee required, address changes, health or status changes that impact eligibility, etc. all need to be considered))*.
*edited - a slight case of OCD and an Engineering degree required that I go back and fully close my parenthesis.
My two cents.

Charles.
This may be a dumb question but I tried to google HB48 to look at the text and found a bill about redistribution of unused workforce development training funds.
Is the text for the bill you are referencing available?
Thank you.
