A JOINT RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE LEGISLATIVE RESEARCH COMMISSION TO STUDY SEVERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT RELATED ISSUES.
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
Section 1.  The Legislative Research Commission may study the following:
(1)	Whether a private citizen, if qualified, should be exempted from G.S. 14-269 and issued a permit to carry a firearm concealed on or about his or her person;
(2)	Whether a sworn law enforcement officer should be authorized by statute to carry a firearm concealed on or about his or her person while outside his or her territorial jurisdiction if he or she (i) has the written permission of his or her agency head, (ii) the firearm is carried solely for the purpose of self defense and not for arrest purposes, and (iii) the officer has on his or her person the agency badge and identification with picture;
(3)	The effectiveness and sufficiency of mutual assistance agreements between local law enforcement agencies, and cooperation in law enforcement matters under G.S. 153A-212 and G.S. 160A-288, in relation to jurisdictional and liability issues concerning multijurisdictional drug task force programs; and
(4)	Whether records kept by the clerk of superior court, which indicate that certain persons have been involuntarily committed to mental institutions pursuant to Article 5 of Chapter 122C of the General Statutes, should be made available to the issuers of pistol permits under G.S. 14-402 and G.S. 14-409.1 in order that the issuer of the permit may determine if a person is qualified to receive a permit to purchase a pistol.
Sec. 2.  The Legislative Research Commission may make an interim report of the results of this study, including legislative recommendations, to the 1991 General Assembly, Regular Session 1992, and may make a final report to the 1993 General Assembly.
Sec. 3.  This resolution is effective upon ratification.
