Bill Summary
This bill increases the application fees for firearms purchaser identification cards, permits to purchase a handgun, and permits to carry a handgun. Under current law, the one-time application fee for a firearms purchaser identification card is $5. This bill increases that fee to $100. The $2 application fee for a permit to purchase a handgun for each handgun purchased is increased to $50 under the bill. Finally, the $20 fee for the initial application for a permit to carry a handgun and subsequent two-year renewals of the permit is increased to $200. According to the sponsor, fees for firearms permits have not been changed since the 1960s and therefore, the increases in the fees set forth in the bill are warranted.
