AN ACT ELIMINATING FEES RELATED TO THE PROCUREMENT OF CERTAIN PERMITS.

HB 5639 eliminates all fees required to obtain permits for exercising constitutional rights, such as firearm permits. It directly affects individuals seeking permits for activities protected under the Constitution, including carrying or possessing firearms. The bill removes these fees by amending general statutes to prohibit charging for such permits. This is a concrete policy change that reduces costs for permit applicants without altering the underlying requirements for obtaining these permits.
