permits. (a) The fee for each permit originally issued under the provisions of subsection
(a) of section 29-28 for the sale at retail of pistols and revolvers shall be one hundred
dollars and for each renewal thereof one hundred dollars. The fee for each state permit
originally issued under the provisions of subsection (b) of section 29-28 for the carrying
of pistols and revolvers shall be seventy dollars plus sufficient funds as required to be
transmitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to cover the cost of a national criminal
history records check. The local authority shall forward sufficient funds for the national
criminal history records check to the commissioner no later than five business days after
receipt by the local authority of the application for the temporary state permit. Thirty-five dollars shall be retained by the local authority. Upon approval by the local authority
of the application for a temporary state permit, thirty-five dollars shall be sent to the
commissioner. The fee to renew each state permit originally issued under the provisions
of subsection (b) of section 29-28 shall be thirty-five dollars. Upon deposit of such fees
in the General Fund, ten dollars of each fee shall be credited within thirty days to the
appropriation for the Department of Public Safety to a separate nonlapsing account for
the purposes of the issuance of permits under subsections (a) and (b) of section 29-28.
(b) A local permit originally issued before October 1, 2001, whether for the sale at
retail of pistols and revolvers or for the carrying of pistols and revolvers, shall expire
five years after the date it becomes effective and each renewal thereof shall expire five
years after the expiration date of the permit being renewed. On and after October 1,
2001, no local permit for the carrying of pistols and revolvers shall be renewed.
(c) A state permit originally issued under the provisions of section 29-28 for the
carrying of pistols and revolvers shall expire five years after the date such permit becomes effective and each renewal thereof shall expire five years after the expiration
date of the state permit being renewed and such renewal shall not be contingent on the
renewal or issuance of a local permit. A temporary state permit issued for the carrying
of pistols and revolvers shall expire sixty days after the date it becomes effective, and
may not be renewed.
(d) The renewal fee required pursuant to subsection (a) of this section shall apply
for each renewal which is requested not earlier than thirty-one days before, and not later
than thirty-one days after, the expiration date of the state permit being renewed.
(e) No fee or portion thereof paid under the provisions of this section for issuance
or renewal of a state permit shall be refundable except if such permit for which the fee
or portion thereof was paid was not issued or renewed. The portion of the fee expended
on the national criminal history records check for any such permit that was not issued
or renewed shall not be refunded.
(f) The issuing authority shall send a notice of the expiration of a state permit to
carry a pistol or revolver, issued pursuant to section 29-28, to the holder of such permit,
by first class mail, not less than ninety days before such expiration, and shall enclose
with such notice a form for the renewal of said state permit. A state permit to carry a
pistol or revolver, issued pursuant to section 29-28, shall be valid for a period of ninety
days after the expiration date, except this provision shall not apply to any state permit
to carry a pistol or revolver which has been revoked or for which revocation is pending,
pursuant to section 29-32.
