CHL fees: Half price for veterans

[propellerhead]

Still dragging your ass on getting a CHL?

In case you didn't know... effective Sept 1 2007, honorably discharged veterans will only have to pay $70 to the state instead of $140 for a CHL due to a new bill. Fees for the CHL class are not affected.

Good deal/long overdue.

<-- Not a lawyer.
So if you are current military or got out less than 365 days ago your fees are waived but if you were discharged 366+ days ago you're only worth half as much? Better than nothing I suppose but for those who served their country for over 20 years and qualified every year as expert (my dad), it is lame. I'm just sayin'.

Better than nothing... I paid full price and I'm an honorably discharged USAF veteran.

But I hear your point. As a Veteran, I get higher priority at a VA hospital than a retiree. I always thought that was backwards.

<------got the discount :p

[evil jose]

That's pretty cool to hear but I think the time period for full discount should be extended.

Do you just bring in your DD-214? ?

[propellerhead]

You select Special Pricing when you apply for a new license or renewal then include your DD-214 in the package you mail in.
