I know there was a bill passed recently to lower the cost of an FID for minors. I want my kid to get one but it looks like the PD is still charging 100 bucks. Anyone know when this will go into effect?
SECTION 93. Section 129B of chapter 140 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting after clause (9B), as so appearing, the following clause:-
(9C) Except as provided in clause (9B), the fee for an application for a firearm identification card for any person under the age of 18 shall be $25, which shall be payable to the licensing authority and shall not be prorated or refunded in the case of revocation or denial. The licensing authority shall retain 50 per cent of the fee and the remaining portion shall be deposited into the General Fund. Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, licensing authorities shall deposit quarterly that portion of the firearm identification card application fee which is to be deposited into the General Fund, not later than January 1, April 1, July 1 and October
1 of each year

My PD robbed me $75. I am 15 and got mine in November 2011 an they charged me $100.
Now, that would be interesting, to see if the local watchdogs would "take the case" - when GOAL notified the AG that several cities/towns were charging more than $100 for an LTC (Cambridge for one) the AG said, "You're right, tell them to stop, we're not going to do anything or require refunds."
Maybe a Crusading Reporter can do the AG's job!
