Nothing on this page has changed the law. These are matters that are still being argued, and until one of them is decided the rules that apply to you are the ones on the reciprocity map. This is general reference, not legal advice.

What could change reciprocity

The reciprocity map tells you which of the 37 states honor a Florida license today, and it carries the date every claim on it was read. It does not tell you what is about to move. 3 things could, and this page follows each one to its official docket rather than to a headline about it.

Every entry says what has already happened, with the date it happened and the document it happened in, and what the outcome would do to the map. None of them says what is going to happen, because nobody knows and a firearms school guessing at it is how somebody plans a trip around a bill that never passes.

Checked against the official dockets on September 10, 2026. The map itself was last verified on September 8, 2026.

The next dated step

September 28, 2026Johnson v. Jacobson, No. 26-255 The justices consider the petition in conference. Most petitions are denied, and an order either way normally appears within days.

Johnson v. Jacobson, No. 26-255Awaiting a decision

A Florida licensee asks the Supreme Court to hear whether a state may refuse his license

The petition has been distributed for the justices to consider at their conference on 28 September 2026, and Minnesota has waived its right to respond.

Jeffrey M. Johnson, Sr. is a long haul truck driver who holds Florida and Georgia licenses and drives through Minnesota several times a year. Minnesota recognizes licenses only from states whose rules it considers similar to its own, and Florida is not on that list, so Minnesota law requires him to unload and case his handgun while he is there. He sued the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, lost in the district court and in the Eighth Circuit, and has asked the Supreme Court to take the case. The questions he presents are whether a person must hold a license from every state in order to carry across the country, and whether a reciprocity statute that recognizes some states and not others survives New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.

What it would do to the map

The questions as presented reach every reciprocity statute in the country and not only Minnesota, so a ruling for the petitioner would unsettle far more of this table than the thirteen jurisdictions that do not honor a Florida license. A denial of certiorari would change nothing and would leave the Eighth Circuit judgment standing.

What has happened

September 11, 2025. The District of Minnesota entered judgment against Johnson.
May 26, 2026. The Eighth Circuit entered judgment, No. 25-3036.
August 27, 2026. The petition for certiorari was docketed as No. 26-255.
August 31, 2026. Minnesota filed a waiver of its right to respond.
September 28, 2026. Distributed for conference.

Next. On September 28, 2026, the justices consider the petition in conference. Most petitions are denied, and an order either way normally appears within days.

H.R. 38Stalled

The House bill that would make every state honor every other state

Reported out of the House Judiciary Committee and placed on the Union Calendar on 3 October 2025, where it has sat since with no floor vote scheduled.

The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, introduced by Representative Richard Hudson of North Carolina on the first day of the 119th Congress and carrying 189 cosponsors. It would let a person who may lawfully carry a concealed handgun in their own state carry in any other state that issues carry licenses at all. The Judiciary Committee ordered it reported by 18 votes to 9 in March 2025 and reported it, amended, that October.

What it would do to the map

A federal statute of this kind would make most of this table historical: the question would stop being which states honor a Florida license and become which states issue licenses at all. Being on the Union Calendar means it is eligible for a floor vote, not that one has been scheduled.

What has happened

January 3, 2025. Introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
March 25, 2025. Ordered to be reported, as amended, by 18 votes to 9.
October 3, 2025. Reported by the Committee on the Judiciary and placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 289.

Next. A vote on the House floor, which the leadership has not scheduled. There is no date to watch.

S. 65Stalled

Its Senate companion, which has not moved at all

Read twice and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on 9 January 2025, with no committee action in the twenty months since.

The Senate version of the same Act, introduced by Senator John Cornyn of Texas and carrying 48 cosponsors. It is listed here beside the House bill rather than folded into it because the two are at very different points: the House bill has been through committee and the Senate bill has not been taken up.

What it would do to the map

Nothing reaches the President without both chambers, so the Senate bill sitting in committee is the more informative half of the pair. Its position has not changed since the week it was introduced.

What has happened

January 9, 2025. Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Next. Consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has not been scheduled. There is no date to watch.

Until one of these lands, the map is the answer

A bill on a calendar and a petition awaiting a conference change nothing about what you may lawfully do this week. The reciprocity map carries the rules that are actually in force, with the state document each one came from and the date it was read.
