Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The additional revenue that would accrue by assessing a $10 fee on private employment fingerprinting or fingerprinting for federal firearm permits is estimated to be $175,000.
Likewise, the additional revenue associated with increasing the concealed weapons permits from $15 to $45 per permit would be $300,000.
Both of these fees were addressed in the fiscal note response dated 3/22/05 to HB 2411 - “Fees Charged by State Police” during the 2005 regular session. In that proposed legislation, the concealed weapons permit fee was to be increased to $30
The impact of changing retirement eligibility will need to be addressed by the CPRB actuary.
