If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding concealed carry weapon (CCW) permit applications by establishing a cap on the fees charged to Arizona residents. Specifically, the bill would insert language stating that the Department of Public Safety (DPS) must charge residents a fee that is ten percent of the fee charged to nonresidents for both initial applications and renewals. This change would ensure that the fees for residents are significantly lower than those for nonresidents.

Additionally, the bill would modify the existing language in the statute to clarify that the fees charged for CCW applications must be categorized as either "resident" or "nonresident," with the applicable fee determined by the Director of DPS. The current language regarding the fee structure would remain largely unchanged, but the new provisions would explicitly require the differentiation of fees based on residency status, thereby enhancing transparency and fairness in the application process.
