The bill would amend the Government Code as it relates to the method of payment for a concealed handgun license and the fee for a duplicate or modified license.
Section 1 of the bill would allow a person to pay a required fee by cash, credit card, or personal check. Under current law, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) only accepts cashier's checks or money orders as methods of payment.
Section 2 of the bill would allow DPS to revoke a license if a person submits an application fee that is dishonored or reversed. The license holder whose license is revoked would be allowed to reapply provided the license holder pays the application fee and dishonored payment charge of $25 by cashier's check or money order.
Section 3 of the bill would reduce the duplicate license fee to $10 from $25.
Section 4 of the bill would reduce the modified license fee to $10 from $25.
The bill would take effect September 1, 2005.
