COURT FINDING (SECONDARY)[INDEPENDENT OF HB579]

The remainder of this document addresses the fiscal Impact of the following court case that washeard in the US District Court which will eliminate the requirement of having a good and substantialreason to qualify for a Maryland Handgun Permit. Although this matter is not the premise of HB579,the court finding is contemporaneous to HB579.

United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Civil Case No. L-10-2068. 2 Mar 2012. Judge Benson Everett Legg. 3 April 2012:http://www.mdd.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Opinions/WoollardMemo.pdf

PREMISE OF IMPACTElimination of a good and substantial reason

to qualify for a Maryland Handgun Permit

In previous fiscal notes on this subject, the Maryland Department of Legislative Services speculatesthat the overall impact of eliminating a good and substantial reason will double the number ofapplications; however, there is no basis provided for the assumption that there will be twice as manyapplication submitted upon the elimination of a good and substantial reason.

Department of Legislative Services - Maryland General Assembly - 2012Session. FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE - HB 1135. Page 5. 3 April 2012:http://mlis.state.md.us/2012rs/fnotes/bil_0005/hb1135.pdf

The Maryland Department of State Police compared handgun permits issued and population inPennsylvania against Maryland. Pennsylvania issues handgun permits without requiring a good and

substantial reason. In 2010, there were 142,000 active handgun permits in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania State Police. 2010 Annual Firearms Report. 16 Feb 2012:http://www.portal.state.pa.us/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=4451&&PageID=462425&level=2&css=L2&mode=2

The population in Pennsylvania of 20 and older was 9,210,791 (21 and older census data is notreadily available).

CUBIT. Pennsylvania Census 2010 Data - Population.16 Feb 2012:http://www.cubitplanning.com/state/19-pennsylvania-census-2010-

population

In 2010, the population in Maryland of 20 and older was 4,249,334.

CUBIT. Maryland Census 2010 Data - Population. 16 Feb 2012:http://www.cubitplanning.com/state/11-maryland-census-2010-population

The population of Maryland is roughly half of Pennsylvania; therefore, Maryland should ultimatelyexpect to develop a volume of handgun permits that is half the volume of Pennsylvania (71, 000) aftera good and substantial reason is eliminated.

3/23

Maryland currently has 12,687 active handgun permits issued as of February 2012.

Maryland State Police Licensing Division Handgun Permit Section.Active Handgun Permits. 16 Feb 2012

If the volume of handgun permits follows Pennsylvania as a model, Maryland should expect a longterm growth of permits from 12,687 (today) to 71,000 (estimated). The difference of what is currently

issued and what is predicted are 58,313 permits or approximately a 550% increase over the currentnumber of active handgun permits. There is no rational belief that applications for the difference ofwhat is currently issued and what is predicted in the long term will occur in the first year, but there willbe a dramatic increase of initial handgun permits in the first year.

It is estimated that there will be a minimum of 15,000 additional initial handgun permit applications inthe FIRST YEAR ONLY; this figure is approximately of the 58,313 needed to follow thePennsylvania model. This estimate is considered conservative; it is probable that the number ofinitial handgun permit applications in the first year will be at a level greater than estimated. All partiesexamining the impact of eliminating a good and substantial reason agree that there will be anincrease, but it is all speculation as to how much of an increase will occur in the first year. Whether

one agrees with the Department of Legislative Services or the Department of State Police, theresources at the Licensing Division Handgun Permit Section will have to be augmented to meet theactual demand.

It is speculated that there will be a dramatic 80% decrease in Initial Handgun Permitapplications after the initial year, as those who have been effectively waiting for the eliminationof the good and substantial reason will have applied for a Handgun Permit during the initialyear. It is therefore anticipated that there will be approximately 3,000 initial handgun permitapplications each year, after the initial year. [If Maryland were to follow Pennsylvania as amodel along with these estimations, it will take approximately 15 years before Maryland has aproportionate amount of active handgun permits by population (71,000).]

It is reasonably speculated that 10% of those individuals obtaining Initial Handgun Permits willchoose not renew their permit, due to a lack of novelty. The remaining 90% of Initial HandgunPermit holders are expected to renew on the expiration of their permit. When renewal permitsare subsequently renewed, it is assumed that 100% of renewal Handgun Permit holders willrenew.

Although the volume of new applications will taper off after the first year, the pool of renewalpermits will continue to increase; the 10 year average for individual submitting an applicationpursuant to the enactment of this bill is projected to be approximately 10,000 (combined initialand renewal handgun applications).

These calculations are in addition to the approximately 5,000 handgun permits that are/wereprocessed before the elimination of the good and substantial reason to qualify for a handgunpermit in Maryland. These approximately 5,000 permits include initial and renewal applicationsfor active and retired police along with non-police applications. [Refer to the below chart fordetails.]

Interviews conducted with:

Applicant References Domestic partners, Employers

Purpose of Background Investigation

Examination of a propensity for violence or criminal activity.

There exist individuals who have been charged on multiple occasions forserious violent criminal offenses, but were found not guilty on everyoccasions; These individuals would qualify to be issued a handgun permitto carry a concealed firearm in Maryland if the basis for issuing a handgun


7/23

permit to one of these individuals was based solely on the results of theabove 16 databases checks.

Background investigations provide articulation on an applicants propensityfor violence and/or criminality, when there is evidence to deny theissuance of a handgun permit but there is no overt denial for the applicantfrom 16 databases.

Estimate to conduct background and complete required report: 8 hours.

o Provide to sworn members for permit issuance review

o Action: Issue Permit: ID Card printed and forward to applicant in US Mail Denial: Provide Denial Letter and directions for appeal process

CURRENT STAFFING

The Handgun Permit Section currently has the following staff dedicated to processing approximately5,000 Handgun Permit Applications annually:

1 Sworn Supervisor (SGT)(Review applications and supervise section) 2 Sworn Investigators (Reviewing applications)

3 Civilian Administrative Aids (Processing of applications)

2 Civilian Background Investigators (Retired Law Enforcement)

Information on Background Investigations:

o During CY2010, there were a total of 1,715 initial handgun permit applications (Non-police related) which required background investigations.

o Renewal applications generally do not require background investigations.

o During CY2010, Licensing Division forwarded 994 requests for backgroundinvestigations required pursuant to the processing of the initial handgun permitapplications are sent to the local Criminal Investigation Sections at the Maryland StatePolice Barracks statewide to conduct. Criminal investigations take priority overadministrative background investigations; it is not practical and not possible for the

Criminal Investigation Sections to absorb any additional background investigations fromMSP Licensing Division.

o The balance of background investigations (721) were handled by the 2 civilianinvestigators, approximately 360 each annually, or approximately 30 per month.

o It is not plausible for additional initial handgun permit applications, which are anticipatedby the elimination of a good and substantial reason to be absorbed by the combinedpool of 2 Licensing Division Investigators and barrack Criminal Investigation Sections.


8/23

ADDITIONAL STAFFING REQUIRED:

The following staffing estimate will be required by the Department of State Police Licensing Division Handgun Permit Section upon elimination of a good and substantial reason to qualify for aHandgun Permit.

The premise of the staffing needs to meet the additional projected submissions of init ialhandgun permit applications is by only assigning background investigations when there are

indicators of an applicants propensity for violence and/or criminality from one or more resultsof the 16 database check, but there is no overt denial from any of the results; therefore, feweradditional background investigators will be needed. Background investigations needs toremain an available tool but only ut ilized when it serves a constructive purpose in the interestof publ ic safety. It is estimated that 10% of all handgun permit applications will require abackground investigation; no data has been collected or is available to suppor t thisassumption.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INVESTIGATORS AND OVERTIME:

The number of additional contractual civilian background investigators is based on the annualprojected number ofInitial Handgun Permits after the first year (3,000); approximately 10% (300) willrequire a background investigation. Renewal handgun permits do not generally need a follow-upinvestigation, but there will be some that will require a background investigation. One backgroundinvestigator can conduct approximately 360 handgun permit background investigations per year andwill be able to conduct the required investigations for the pool of handgun permit applicants, after thefirst year.

Examining the subsequent years to the elimination of a good and substantial reason to qualify for ahandgun permit, the existing two c ivilian handgun permit background investigators are projectedto be able to complete the existing pool and the additional pool of background investigations, under

the premise of only conducting background investigations when there are indicators from one ormore of the 16 database check. No additional background investigators are required pursuant to thisfiscal estimate.

Examining the first year where there is a projected 15,000 initial applications for a handgun permit willrequire resources to complete the 10% (1,500) background investigations. As articulated above onlythe first 360 can be conducted by the existing civilian investigator. Approximately 1,000 (994 SeeCurrent Staffing) will be sent to the local Criminal Investigation Sections at the Maryland State PoliceBarracks statewide to conduct.

The remaining 170 to 200 will be required to be investigated using MSP sworn members on overtime

from Licensing Division, other units, divisions, and barracks. As described above in current staffing,one full time background investigator can complete approximately 360 initial handgun permitbackground investigations per year. Each background investigation takes approximately 8 hours tocomplete.

ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE STAFFING OF HANDGUN PERMIT SECTION AND OVERTIME:

When examining the Handgun Permit Section administrative staffing, excluding contractualbackground investigators, it is not practical to increase the Licensing Division Handgun PermitSection based on the projected initial applications of the first year (15,000); however, due to initial


9/23

handgun permits expiring 2 years after issue and renewal handgun permits expiring after 3 years itrequires a 10 year projection to obtain a reasonable average staffing need, which is approximately10,000. [Refer to the Table Revenue Additional Applications (bottom right)] The existing HandgunPermit Section staffing processes 5,000; the additional need is for staffing to process an additional10,000 or twice the processing; therefore, the additional staffing required is twice current staffing.

During renewal years where the combined initial and renewal for handgun application submissionsare greater than the first 10 year average workload of 10,000, the Handgun Permit Section

administrative staffing will be required to meet the added demand with overtime to compensate for thelack of additional staffing.

The 10 year average for workload only considers the first 10 years after the elimination of a good andsubstantial reason. The premise of the entire fiscal estimate was made on the belief that Marylandwould follow Pennsylvania as a model; at this point and time we should expect that there will be anincreasing pool to approximately 71,000 handgun permits (approximately 15 years after theelimination). Although it is currently speculated that very few will require a background investigationwhen they renew, there will be a large volume renewal applications to process which will ultimatelyrequired additional fulltime staffing of the administrative portion of the Handgun Permit Section toprocess those applications at a later date.

Due to the limited physical space of Licensing Division, personnel will be required to work shift work inorder to share existing office space.

The following personnel listing will be needed to augment the section:

1 Sworn Supervisor (Corporal) (Review applications and supervise section) 1 Sworn Investigators (TFC or STR) (Reviewing applications) 6 Civilian Administrative Aids (Processing of applications)

ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT:

An additional identification card printer will be required, which creates the actual Handgun Permitdocument has a serviceable life of 50,000 cards. In addition to the identification card printer,identification card blanks, laminate, and printer ink will be required.

Based on the projected number of additional initial and renewal handgun permits to be issued, theidentification card printer will not pass its 50,000 serviceable life until the 6 th year and will not beprojected to need replacement during the 5 year fiscal note timeframe.


10/23

ADDITIONAL IMPACT NOT DIRECTLY ADDRESSED

It is additionally expected that the increased volume of handgun permits will temporarily increase thevolume of handgun sales in Maryland, which will increase the workload pursuant to the 7 day recordscheck for the sale of a regulated firearm by Licensing Division.

This impact is not prepared to project the increase in volume for 7 day checks for handgun sales:

number of citizens that own one or more handguns that do not currently posses a handgunpermit and would seek a permit under this bill,

number of citizens that do not own a handgun, would seek a permit under this bill, and wouldbe purchasing a handgun pursuant to the issuance of a handgun permit

LEGISLATION/COURT OPINION ANTICIPATEDIN PROPOSED OPERATING/CAPITAL BUDGET

This legislation/court opinion has not been anticipated in the Operating/Capital Budget of theDepartment of State Police.

REVENUE ANALYSIS

Revenue is not constant:

Initial permits:

o Expire 2 years after issue.

o Current initial application fee $75.

Renewal permits:

o Expire 3 years after issue.

o Current renewal fee: $50
