Several changes in the Kansas concealed carry law have taken effect, including a reduction in application fees. Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said among the changes approved a new provisional license will be available for individuals between 18-20. New provisions also allow a concealed carry license to individuals who have had certain prior felony or misdemeanor convictions expunged.

The application fee will be lowered from $132.50 to $112. The reduced rate applies to applications received by sheriff’s offices between the start of July and June 30, 2022. Applicants should submit their applications with one check for $79.50 payable to the Office of the Attorney General and another check for $32.50 payable to the sheriff of the applicant’s county of residence. The cost for license renewals remains unchanged at $25.
