Bill > HB05639

This bill proposes to eliminate all fees associated with obtaining permits for exercising constitutional rights, with a specific focus on firearm permits in the state. The legislation aims to remove any financial barriers that might impede citizens from exercising rights protected by the Constitution, such as the right to bear arms. By removing permit fees, the bill seeks to make it easier and more affordable for individuals to acquire necessary permits without facing economic constraints. The bill appears to be motivated by the principle that constitutional rights should not be hindered by administrative costs, ensuring that citizens can access and exercise their fundamental rights without being financially burdened by permit procurement processes. While the bill specifically mentions firearm permits as an example, its language suggests a broader application to permits related to other constitutional rights.
