State House approves bill to reduce CPL renewal fee

LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Renewing a concealed pistol license in Michigan right now costs $115, but the state House wants that fee drastically reduced.

The House passed a bill yesterday to cut the fee to $30 with bipartisan support, 63-to-46.

Representative Mike Harris, a Clarkston Republican, said the fees have “become so expensive that it’s preventing lower-income folks from obtaining a CPL.”

Harris says “rights are afforded to us by the Constitution, not our pocketbooks.”
