Well, the $100 was established in 1996. It was increased by 1998 to $115.
The $100 was based upon estimates from the Tennessee Department of Safety regarding how many more additional employees it would require to process these applications, additional equipment, benefits, etc. It also includes that they estimated to be charges from TBI and FBI for doing the background checks (that is why the renewal fee is only $50).
