Arms Bill

Miscellaneous provisions - Cost recovery

366: Activities that may be subject to cost recovery

You could also call this:

"When you might have to pay a fee for things like getting a gun licence"

Illustration for Arms Bill

The Minister in charge can suggest making a new rule under section 371, but only if they think the fee is for something the Arms Regulator does according to this proposed law. You might have to pay a fee for things like getting a licence, having your application checked, or getting training. The Arms Regulator can charge you for things like checking if you are a fit and proper person to have a licence, or for giving you a licence.
