Bill > SB694

This bill modifies Pennsylvania's firearms licensing regulations by amending Section 6109 of Title 18 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. Specifically, the bill changes the fee structure for firearm carry licenses and provides a fee waiver for active duty military personnel and honorably discharged veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Under the current law, there is a $19 fee for a license to carry a firearm, and this bill explicitly waives that fee for military service members. The fee waiver applies to both currently serving active duty military personnel and veterans who have been honorably discharged. The legislation will go into effect 60 days after its enactment, giving state agencies time to implement the new licensing fee policy. This change aims to provide a financial benefit to those who have served or are serving in the United States military by reducing the cost barrier to obtaining a firearm carry license.
