Does Colorado law dictate what dealers can charge for private sale transfers?

I understand the interpretation of the law you all are giving. Has any state agency given a similar interpretation? Or are you all just repeating the explanation gun stores have come up with?

This is the best answer any forum has come up with since the law change.

Pretty sure the CBI fee is now $13.

My latest receipt has it at $10.50. That was last Thursday the 27th.

Soooooooooooo. Does this mean the background fee charged by the state would be capped at 10 bucks too? Didn't it get up to $16.00 for a bit.

According to HB 13-1228, the amount of the fee is set by the head of CBI, and is supposed to reflect the direct and indirect costs of performing the background check. That fee amount isn't debatable, and the only check and balance is the removal of the head of CBI, who serves at the pleasure of the governor.

CBI fee is currently $10.50.

I very recently bought 3 lowers. 1 CBI @ $10.50, then $15 each for the service of receiving, logging, and processing the lowers. I do not begrudge the dealer in question their fees for services performed.

My asking the question is not because I begrudge anyone, I don’t think the law should dictate a price. I’m simply asking what the law actually says.

$10.50. Check. Wasn't it $6 to begin with, or am I wrong there too?

Colorado House Bill 13-1228 requires that a fee be collected for Colorado House Bill 13-1228 requires that a fee be collected for a firearm background check prior to a firearm transfer by a Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL). This law went into effect on March 20, 2013.? Based on the estimated expenses and projected volume of firearm background checks, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) initially set the fee at $10.00 per firearm background check request, but later reduced it to $6.00, effective March 1, 2016, in an effort to comply with the excess reserve statute.

This fee is reviewed by the CBI to determine if any adjustments are necessary. Considerations for adjusting the fee may include the projected number of firearm background check requests, changes in staffing levels to meet expected demand, and/or IT system enhancements that are needed in the operation of the InstaCheck Unit.??We recognize that frequent adjustments to this fee present challenges for your business so, we're committed to keeping the fee as low and affordable as possible.???Although adjustments are inevitable, we are actively exploring ways to try to limit future fluctuations and provide you with a more consistent and predictable rate.

Upon examining the expenses, the CBI has determined a re-calibration of the fee is necessary to maintain current service levels to InstaCheck customers.? Therefore, beginning Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 12:01 A.M. (MST), the CBI will increase the fee for a firearm background check from $6.00 to $15.00 (USD).? Any firearm background check processed prior to this date will be assessed the $6.00 fee, including the?January 1, 2018 through January 31, 2018?transactions listed on the invoices to be mailed the beginning of February 2018.

The fee increase pertains only to CBI firearm background checks, and not the fee a licensed gun dealer may charge to facilitate private firearms transfers pursuant to Colorado House Bill 13-1229.?The law states that an FFL can charge up to a maximum of $10.00 to conduct this type of transaction to defray costs.
