I'd assume its buried somewhere in here:
Governor's Fiscal Year 2018/2019 proposed budget documents

Edit to add: Here is one mention on page 21: http://www.ct.gov/opm/lib/opm/budget/2018_2019_biennial_budget/budgetdocs/002.introduction.pdf#page=21
Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection (DESPP)
In 2013, Governor Malloy signed sweeping gun control reforms. Those changes, as well as discussion on national reforms, have led to an increased demand for gun permits and thus an increased workload for DESPP in processing background checks, pistol permits, long-gun certificates and ammunition certificates. In order to keep up with the rising costs associated with these workload increases, the Governor is proposing increasing the state portion of the pistol permit fee to $300, making the initial permit $370, renewable every 5 years at $300. By statute, local authorities retain $70 of the initial pistol permit fee. The current fee for a pistol permit is $140 for the initial permit and $70 for a renewal every 5 years. This fee change is projected to increase revenues for the state by $9 million each year.

In addition to updating pistol permit fees, the Governor is proposing that the various background check fees be increased from $50 to $75. As federal requirements increasingly call for criminal background checks for certain employees such as nursing home workers and education professionals, DESPP has seen a spike in requests for background checks with additional growth anticipated in the biennium. Again, with the cost of conducting background checks rising due to increased demand, the fee increase is necessary to support costs of the entire process. This $25 fee increase is projected to generate an additional $2.6 million in revenue annually.

Also page 25 of the following PDF: http://www.ct.gov/opm/lib/opm/budget/2018_2019_biennial_budget/budgetdocs/021.section_b.pdf#page=25

Page 27 of the following PDF: http://www.ct.gov/opm/lib/opm/budget/2018_2019_biennial_budget/budgetdocs/powerpoint.pdf#page=27

Edit to add: They only seem to be increasing the pistol permit and renewal fee along with the background check fee. No other firearm permits/certificate fees seem to be going up other than the cost of the background check.

I hear you but that said...... You know the commies of CT are using this as another gun ownership restriction. Anyone of lower income will not be able to afford their constitutional rights and even basic human rights of self protection. ACLU should be all over this but likely we will hear crickets. Just another example of how democrats are not really for the poor and middle class.

Yep its just a proposal. Malloy always makes these wild proposals with his budget then the legislators pretty much do their own thing. What I could see happening is another doubling of the permit fees under the guise of revenue generation to assist with the huge budget gap. Then in two years double it again, wash rinse repeat until its raised 400% like Malloy wanted.
