Gun-rights activists up in arms about concealed carry fee hike
“The state Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), which issues permits, on Aug. 1 increased the fee by $20, raising the cost to $57 for Utah residents and to $67 for out-of-staters. The NRA and the Utah Shooting Sports Council (USSC), however, say BCI lacks the authority to raise fees on its own and should have sought legislative approval. . . BCI officials have been summoned to Capitol Hill to explain the increase. They are scheduled to do so at 9 a.m. Thursday before the Legislature’s Administrative Rules Review Committee. The committee’s request was triggered by a complaint filed by a Utah couple who sought permits but objected to the cost, stating they were unaware that lawmakers had approved a fee hike, according to USSC director Clark Aposhian.”
