Valentine is sponsoring SB36, which would require nonresidents to be licensed in their home states first.

The judiciary committee gave the bill a favorable recommendation and it now moves to the Senate floor.

Lawmakers also are considering a bill that would lower the concealed weapons permit fee by $5.25, making it $29.75. HB214, sponsored by Rep. Curt Oda, R-Clearfield, would also raise the renewal fee by $5, making it $15.
