Increases certain firearms permit fees.
This bill increases the application fees for several types of firearms permits in New Jersey. It raises the one-time fee for a firearms purchaser identification card from $5 to $100. The fee for a permit to purchase a handgun increases from $2 to $50 per handgun. The initial fee and renewal fee for a permit to carry a handgun increases from $20 to $200. The sponsor states these fees have not been updated since the 1960s, justifying the increases.
