Fiscal Detail and Notes
Authorizing an appeals process for the denial of a concealed weapons permit will increase General Fund costs for the State Police program within the Department of Public Safety and increase the amount of revenues collected by the department for the General Fund.  The department estimates a cost of approximately $500 for each appeal that is reviewed; the bill establishes a fee of $25 for each appeal that is filed.  The ultimate cost and revenue impact of this bill will depend on the number of appeals that are filed each year; the amounts can not be determined at this time.
