The proposed bill would amend section 13-3112 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by introducing new language regarding the fees associated with firearm permit applications. Currently, the application process requires a fee determined by the director of the department of public safety, but the bill would specify that there will be separate fees for residents and nonresidents. Specifically, for residents, the fee would be set at ten percent of the nonresident fee, which is a new stipulation not present in the current law.

Additionally, the bill would maintain the existing requirements for the application process, including the completion of a prescribed form and the submission of fingerprints. However, it would clarify that both initial applications and renewals must include the applicable resident or nonresident fee, ensuring consistency in the fee structure across different types of applications. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the fee process while ensuring that residents pay a reduced rate compared to nonresidents.
