This bill proposes to amend section 13-3112 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding concealed carry weapon (CCW) permits. Under current law, the application process requires a fee determined by the Director of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) for both residents and non-residents. The bill introduces new provisions that specify the fee for Arizona residents applying for a CCW permit will be set at 10 percent of the fee charged to non-residents. This change applies to both initial applications and renewals, where the same fee structure will be implemented.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the DPS will charge this reduced fee only for residents of Arizona, while non-residents will continue to pay the standard fee determined by the Director. The amendments aim to make the application process more accessible for residents while maintaining the existing framework for non-residents. Overall, the bill seeks to adjust the fee structure without altering other aspects of the application process as outlined in the current statutes.
