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 from this fund will be transferred to it, and if the fund exceeds $120,000 as of April 10, 2014, the excess will be distributed to public school systems in the county for operational purposes, including school security.

For the five-year 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 distribution of funds in the event that the City of Gardendale School System has not officially separated from the Jefferson County School System. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
