FISCAL NOTE

House Bill 272 as amended and reported by the Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security revises certain restrictions regarding the carrying or possession of a pistol, and eliminates the requirement to obtain a pistol permit in order to carry a concealed pistol, which could reduce receipts to the several counties, by an undetermined amount, dependent on the number of individuals that would no longer obtain a concealed carry permit to carry a concealed pistol and the cost of the permit.

This bill could also increase the administrative obligations of the governing bodies of each two and four-year institution of higher learning to adopt policies governing the possession of firearms or other weapons on groups owned or controlled by the institution.
