Ummmm.............so when my CHL comes up for renewal, I won't have to take the usual half day class to renew?

Correct. in the LTC-16 on page 14, GC §411.185 says (in summary)
- submit your renewal application
- pay the fee (now only $40)
- sign affidavit(s) saying you understand the current laws

I would allow it. But remember, you are not allowed to use optics, red dots, lasers, etc. Only open sights.

Has it always been this way? I have had a Shield 9mm with the green Crimson Trace laser for the past 8 months or so. It is my first laser equipped weapon. I cannot use it for my next renewal class?

Sure you can use the Shield 9mm to qualify with but you cannot use the laser just turn it off or cover it.

There are no renewal classes (anymore) so you won't get the chance.
I believe the TAC states lasers are not permitted. I'd guess many instructors won't let you use a handgun outfitted with a laser unless you can prove it's disabled.
