Bill Summary

For legislation relative to equitable firearm license fees. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill aims to make firearm license fees more equitable. It amends the existing law by reducing the application fee for a firearm identification card from $100 to $40, with the licensing authority retaining $20 and $20 being deposited into the state's General Fund. Similarly, the application fee for a license to carry a firearm is reduced from $100 to $40, with the same distribution of fees. The bill ensures that at least $50,000 from the General Fund is allocated to the Firearm Licensing Review Board to support its operations, with any unused funds reverting back to the General Fund.
