HCS/HB 365 - This act allows the "County Sheriff's Revolving Fund" to be used to make necessary expenditures to process applications for concealed carry endorsements or renewals. Such expenditures include, but are not limited to, training, fingerprinting, background checks, employment of personnel, and purchase of equipment. Currently, the fund may be used only for the purchase of equipment and to provide training. This act authorizes the sheriff of every county to pay costs and expenses for activities related to the issuing of concealed carry endorsements from the sheriff's revolving fund. The application and renewal fees shall be based on the sheriff's estimate of the actual costs and expenses incurred. If the maximum fee of $100 is inadequate to cover the actual expenses in a year and there are insufficient funds in the revolving fund, a sheriff may present specific and verified evidence of the unreimbursed expenses to the Office of Administration which, upon certification by the Attorney General, shall reimburse such sheriff for those expenses. This act has an emergency clause. This act is similar to SCS/SBs 157 & 234 (2005). SUSAN HENDERSON
