Subject: Crimes and Offenses Generally: Police: Prisons and Other Methods of Correction: Weapons: Counties Cities and Towns: Handguns: Courthouses and Courtrooms
Description: Local law enforcement; fees for concealed handgun permits; courthouse and courtroom security; assessment. Eliminates (i) the fee, under current law up to $35, that a local law-enforcement agency is permitted to charge for conducting the background investigation for a concealed handgun permit and (ii) the requirement that the local law-enforcement agency forward to the State Police any amount assessed by the FBI for providing criminal history record information in the background investigation.
