The bill amends Section 45-37-233 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically addressing pistol permits and their 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 specific allocations for the retirement system, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Fund, and a newly designated Jefferson County Legislative Delegation Office Fund. Additionally, any unspent funds from this office fund will be redirected to public school systems in the county for operational purposes, including school security, based on student enrollment numbers.

For the five-year permit, the fee is established at $37.50, with the distribution of this fee mirroring the allocations set for the one-year permit. The bill also includes provisions for the distribution of funds in the event that the City of Gardendale School System has not officially separated from the Jefferson County School System by the time of distribution. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
