87TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION
 
May 19, 2021

TO:
Honorable James White, Chair, House Committee on Homeland Security & Public Safety
 
FROM:
Jerry McGinty, Director, Legislative Budget Board
 
IN RE:
SB2247 by Huffman (Relating to the removal of a fee for the issuance of an original, duplicate, modified, or renewed license to carry a handgun.), As Engrossed

The provisions of the bill addressed by this analysis would amend the Government Code and Local Government Code as they relate to the removal of a fee for the issuance of an original, duplicate, modified, or renewed license to carry a handgun.  

This analysis assumes implementing the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on the demand for state correctional resources.  The bill does not expressly create a felony offense, increase the punishment for an existing misdemeanor to that of a felony, increase the punishment for an existing felony offense or category of felony-level offenses, or change the eligibility for a person for felony community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
