Re: Permit Renewal / Cost / Location
Just so lurkers reading this thread understand.
By law, there was NEVER an option to pay more for different types of licenses
They can print it on paper, plastic or platinum, price doesn't change
There is only one license and no one has had or has authority to charge more than the statute outlines. 25 dollars in the past and once the modernization fund expired, it's now 20.
If you paid or pay more than that, your Sheriff was/is breaking the law.
You may or may not care, but at least I feel it's important to clarify that

Re: Permit Renewal / Cost / Location
Did we ever find out which sheriff first started issuing the DL-type LTCFs, why they did so, and how they came up with the different fees they were charging?

Re: Permit Renewal / Cost / Location
I was at the government services center over on New Falls Road in September to apply for a replacement LTCF. The lady that took my photo and application said that the state is no longer doing the plastic digital licenses.
The flimsy laminated license card I got has me feeling that I will be back Real Soon Now to get another replacement. I don't see why the state eliminated the digital licenses. All they needed to do was ensure that every county was using a uniform version and charging a uniform price.

Re: Permit Renewal / Cost / Location
I have to disagree.
The last upgrade, aside from mismanagement issues, was altogether not expensive. Most sheriffs returned funds that were awarded to them as grants for the last upgrade because they simply didn't need them to cover costs.
Over the last several years, particularly between 2006 and 2010, several million dollars in excess funds could have been allocated to the hardware costs of printing plastic cards.
There was a large push to try to prevent some of the excess funds from rolling over into the State treasury in May of last year, but action could not be taken swiftly enough to prevent it.
Unless the equipment to issue those cards would cost $50,000 or more per county, which it would not and did not for the counties that had been improperly using plastic cards for a while, there would have been no issue switching to them and being just fine at $20 per applicant.
