This bill amends Section 45-26-233 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the fees associated with pistol permits in Elmore County. The amendment establishes a fixed issuance fee of twenty dollars ($20) for a pistol permit, replacing the previous language that referred to additional fees. 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 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 changes aim to streamline the fee structure and ensure dedicated funding for law enforcement in Elmore County. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
