The bill amends Section 45-37-233 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding pistol permits and associated fees in Jefferson County. It introduces a new fee structure for one-year and five-year pistol permits. The fee for a one-year permit is set at $7.50, with the distribution of this fee allocated to various funds: $4.50 to the retirement system, $0.50 to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Fund, and $2.50 to the Jefferson County Legislative Delegation Office Fund. Additionally, any unspent amounts in this fund will be transferred to support public school systems in the county, with specific provisions for the City of Gardendale School System.

For the five-year pistol permit, the fee is established at $37.50, with the distribution of this fee mirroring that of the one-year permit. The bill also includes provisions for the management of funds, ensuring that any excess amounts in the Legislative Delegation Office Fund are allocated for the operation of a legislative office in Birmingham. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
