Department of Safety updates handgun permit fee language; committee gives positive recommendation
Summary
The Department of Safety presented rule updates to clarify fees and modernize language for handgun permits; the committee approved the updates with positive recommendations in both chambers.
The Department of Safety presented revisions to handgun permit procedures focused primarily on updating and clarifying fees, definitions and administrative language that had not been revised since the 1990s. Elizabeth Stroker said the package "updates outdated language" and aligns rule text with fee changes already enacted in statute.
Members asked clarifying questions about current fee levels and which items the rule updates. Department staff said the enhanced permit fee is currently $100 and renewal fees are $50; the rule language brings the rules into conformity with statutory fee structure. The committee voted to recommend the rule in both chambers; the clerk reported six ayes in the Senate and the House recorded a positive voice vote.
