The bill amends Section 45-26-233 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the fees associated with obtaining a pistol permit in Elmore County. The new legal language establishes a flat issuance fee of twenty dollars ($20) for a pistol permit, replacing the previous language that referred to additional fees. Furthermore, the bill specifies that one dollar ($1) of each fee collected will go to the county general fund, while the remaining nineteen dollars ($19) will be deposited into a fund known as the Sheriffs' Law Enforcement Fund, which is designated for law enforcement purposes.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the establishment and use of the Sheriffs' Law Enforcement Fund will not replace or diminish any other sources of income for the sheriff's office. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
