This bill amends Act 95-414, which pertains to pistol permit fees in Pike County, Alabama. The key changes include a revision of the fee structure for issuing a permit to carry a pistol. The annual fee is changed from twenty dollars ($20) per year to a one-time fee of twenty dollars ($20) for one year and one hundred dollars ($100) for five years. Additionally, the language regarding the distribution of the fees has been updated; instead of ten dollars ($10) being allocated to the county treasury and the remaining ten dollars ($10) deposited into a fund, the entire fee will now be divided differently, with each fee collected being directed to the Sheriff’s Fund.
Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the Sheriff’s Fund will be used exclusively for law enforcement purposes and will not replace any other funding sources for the sheriff's office. The amendments also ensure that the terminology is consistent, changing references from "sheriff's fund" to "Sheriff's Fund" throughout the text. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
