The money received as fees for performing background checks for handgun purchases goes toward providing services related to background checks for handgun purchases, the money received as fees for performing services related to issuing a license to carry concealed weapons goes toward services related to issuing licenses to carry concealed weapons, and the money received as fees related to issuing certification cards to carry concealed weapons goes toward providing such services. Under this bill, any money received as fees for performing background checks for handgun purchases and for performing certain services related to issuing licenses or certification cards to carry concealed weapons may go toward providing services related to background checks for handgun purchases, licenses to carry concealed weapons, or certification cards to carry concealed weapons.
