 45        arms differ. If you are prohibited by federal law from possessing a weapon
 46        or a firearm, you may be prosecuted in federal court. A  state  permit  is
 47        not a defense to a federal prosecution.
 48             The  sheriff  shall  require  any person who is applying for original
 49        issuance of a license to submit his fingerprints in addition to the  other
 50        information  required  in this subsection.  Within five (5) days after the
 51        filing of an application, the sheriff shall forward  the  application  and
 52        fingerprints  to  the  Idaho state police for a records check of state and
 53        national  files.  The  Idaho  state  police  shall  conduct   a   national
 54        fingerprint-based  records  check  and  return  the results to the sheriff

                                           3

  3        graphs (a) through (n) of subsection (1) of this section.

  5        Idaho    driver's license. It will bear the signature, name, address, date
  6        of birth, picture of  the  licensee,  expiration  date  and  the  driver's
  7        license number or state identification card number of the licensee if used
  8        for  identification  in  applying  for the license. Upon issuing a license
  9        under the provisions of this section, the sheriff will  notify  the  Idaho
 10        state  police  on  a  form  or in a manner prescribed by the state police.

 13        tial and exempt from disclosure under section 9-338, Idaho Code.
 14        (2)  The  fee  for  original  issuance of a four (4) year license shall be
 15    twenty dollars ($20.00) paid to the sheriff for the purpose of  enforcing  the
 16    provisions of this chapter. The sheriff may collect any additional fees neces-
 17    sary  to  cover  the  cost of processing fingerprints lawfully required by any
 18    state or federal agency or department, and  the  cost  of  materials  for  the
 19    license lawfully required by any state agency or department, which costs shall
 20    be paid to the state.

 28    fees necessary to cover the cost of processing fingerprints lawfully  required
 29    by any state or federal agency or department.
 30        (4)  A  licensee  may  renew  a  Every license if the licensee applies for
 31    renewal at any time before or within ninety (90)  days  after  the  expiration

 36    the expiration date of the license. The sheriff  shall  require  the  licensee
 37    applying  for renewal to complete an application. The sheriff shall submit the
 38    application to the Idaho state  police  for  a  records  check  of  state  and
 39    national databases. The Idaho state police shall conduct the records check and
 40    return  the  results to the sheriff within thirty (30) days. The sheriff shall
 41    not issue a renewal before receiving the results of the records check and must
 42    deny a license if the applicant is disqualified  under  any  of  the  criteria
 43    listed  in  subsection  (1),  paragraphs  (a)  through  (n) of this section. A

 47    the license shall pay a late renewal penalty of ten dollars ($10.00) in  addi-
 48    tion  to the renewal fee. The fee shall be paid to the sheriff for the purpose
 49    of enforcing the provisions of this chapter.

 54    modify the requirements of this section, nor may a political  subdivision  ask
 55    the  applicant to voluntarily submit any information not required in this sec-
                                                                        
                                           4
                                                                        
  1    tion. A civil action may be brought to enjoin a wrongful refusal  to  issue  a
  2    license  or  a  wrongful modification of the requirements of this section. The
  3    civil action may be brought in the county in which the application was made or
  4    in Ada county at the discretion of the petitioner.  Any  person  who  prevails
  5    against a public agency in any action in the courts for a violation of subsec-
  6    tions (1) through (5) of this  section, shall be awarded costs, including rea-

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact



	               STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                             RS 15636C4

Amending the requirements for carrying a concealed weapon, to 
require notice to law enforcement officers when a person is 
carrying a concealed weapon, extend the validity of a permit to 
5 years, extend the period for renewal without paying a late fee 
and eliminate the requirement for concealed weapons to be 
disassembled in a vehicle.



                            FISCAL IMPACT

The three dollar fee increase will have a positive effect to 
counties of ($3) times the number of permits statewide.
