IMO, LEOSA needs to be refined and re-affirmed by Congress. There needs to be no ambiguity as to the unquestionable overriding federal jurisdiction and national (50 state and all US territories) applicability of the law and no question as to the scope and intent of the Act. No state can claim to opt out. Furthermore, there needs to be specific duties and obligations required of (former) employing law enforcement agencies who should be required to either grant LEOSA credentials to former qualified employees or provide a factual, valid reason why the employee is not eligible. There should also be well defined civil remedies written into the law. The last agency to have employed the qualified separated / retired officer should be the agency obligated / required under the act to issue the credential to qualified persons.
