Under current law, DOJ charges firearms dealers an $8 fee to conduct a firearms restrictions record search.

This bill increases the fee for a firearms restrictions record search from $8 to $30.

2009 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: financing of unemployment insurance administration and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Employment
Currently, the federal government provides regular grants to this state for the purpose of financing the administration of the unemployment insurance (UI) program. In addition, the federal government provides special grants to this state for the purpose of administration of UI, for the payment of UI benefits, or for certain other purposes. Under current law, the legislature has appropriated specified sums from the special grant moneys for UI administration during the period ending on September 30, 2009.
This bill separately appropriates additional sums from these special federal grant moneys to be used for the purpose of UI administration during the 2009-2011 state fiscal biennium. The expenditure authorization potentially increases the liability of employers to finance UI benefits through contributions (taxes).
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
