Probably a bit early to ask, since it's not yet been signed into law... :mrgreen:
This is rank speculation, but my guess is the fee won't go down. DPS still has to do pretty much everything for each renewal application, except look for a CHL-100 in the file. DPS doesn't get the fees, but the Code expressly requires DPS to charge a fee that covers the cost of processing renewals. DPS has to pay $23.50 for every set of fingerprints sent to the FBI and with a lot of folks eligible for the 50% discount (60 yrs and older + veterans), that leaves only $11.50 to cover the rest of their work including manufacturing and mailing of the CHL.

Again, this is just my guess; I have no inside information.

Chas.
Will online renewal require we get new fingerprints or were you using this just as a general example?

I read the bill, but it doesn't seem to mention fingerprints (unless they are considered part of the renewal application form.)
