From an article in Sept 2009, relating the experience in DC (on which Chitown appears to be modeling its law)- "It took $833.69, a total of 15 hours 50 minutes, four trips to the Metropolitan Police Department, two background checks, a set of fingerprints, a five-hour class and a 20-question multiple-choice exam. "
