"This article on the California ammo permit fee did not state clearly enough that this permit fee legislation (SB 53) has only passed the California Senate, not the whole legislature, and has not been signed into law. The article also gives the impression that this authorization fee is on a per purchase basis when in fact, it is an annual fee. The article erroneously suggests that background checks would be conducted each time an ammunition purchase was made. This background check will be conducted at the time of the application for the ammunition purchase authorization. However, there will be a database constructed with the names of everyone who has applied for an ammunition authorization permit."
The legislation is here. There is nothing in the legislation that specifies an annual period for the authorization. It simply says a person must apply for authorization before purchasing ammunition. It neither specifies every time or any period of time between applications. It could be a one time lifetime application and fee, and annual application and fee or a with-every-purchase application and fee.
