The proposed bill in Minnesota seeks to expand the methods by which individuals can submit an application for a permit to carry a handgun. It outlines that applications will be standardized and include detailed personal information including name, sex, date of birth, physical characteristics, and firearm eligibility. The new options for submission include in-person, electronically, or via certified mail or delivery. It also specifies that a permit is void if the holder becomes prohibited from possessing a firearm by law. Additionally, the bill caps the application processing fee at $100 or the actual processing cost, whichever is less, and requires the sheriff's office to provide a receipt upon submission of an application.
