Caldwell senator expands military concealed weapon fee exemption

Sen. John McGee

A proposal to prevent Idahoans serving in the military from having to pay a $10 late fee for renewing their concealed weapons permit has been expanded.

The Idaho Senate approved an amendment from Caldwell Republican Sen. John McGee that would expand the exemption to include all active duty military personnel. The original legislation only applied to those stationed outside the U.S.

The $10 late fee waiver would apply to anyone serving on active duty during the 90-day renewal period for an Idaho concealed weapons license.

Concealed weapons permits in Idaho cost $20 and are good for five years. Renewing a permit costs $15. (IdahoReporter.com)
