Requires fees for certain firearms permit applications be deposited into General Fund rather than VCCO account.
This bill changes where certain firearm permit application fees are deposited. It requires fees for handgun permits and firearms purchaser identification cards to be paid into the state's General Fund instead of the Violent Crime Control and Enforcement (VCCO) account. The bill directly affects individuals applying for firearm permits and retail dealers processing these transactions. The key provision is a simple accounting change to redirect fee revenue, without altering permit requirements or background check procedures. This is a procedural adjustment to fund allocation, not a policy change to firearm regulations.
