§ 13-3112).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.

weapon permit holder at least 60 days before the expiration date of the permit.
2. Makes technical changes.
3. Becomes effective on the general effective date.
Amendments Adopted by Committee
• Requires the renewal reminder notice and renewal application to be sent to the permit holder,
rather than the permit holder's last known address.
