FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 1 as introduced repeals the restrictions against carrying a concealed pistol in a car or on oneself as well as other restrictions against carrying a pistol on certain property. This bill could decrease receipts to the State General Fund and municipal general funds from fines; decrease receipts to the State General Fund, county general funds, municipal general funds, and other funds to which court costs are deposited; and could decrease the obligations of the district attorneys and local jails by an undetermined amount dependent upon the number of persons who would have otherwise been charged with and convicted of violating provisions against carrying a concealed pistol in a car or on oneself as well as other restrictions against carrying a pistol on certain property and the penalties that would have been imposed.
Additionally, this bill could reduce receipts to the several counties by an undetermined amount by providing for additional instances in which a pistol permit is not required in order to carry a concealed pistol.
