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 one hundred dollars ($100) for a five-year permit. Additionally, the language regarding the distribution of 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 collected and managed under the Sheriff’s Fund.
Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the Sheriff’s Fund will be used exclusively for law enforcement purposes, and it emphasizes that the establishment of this fund will not replace any other sources of income for the sheriff's office. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
