Bill > HB335

This bill, titled the Pistol Permit Reduction Act of 1999 for Jefferson County, amends existing law to adjust the fees and distribution of funds for pistol permits in Jefferson County, Alabama. Specifically, it changes the fee for a one-year permit to carry a pistol to $7.50, with $4.50 going to a retirement system, $0.50 to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Fund, and $2.50 to a newly established Jefferson County Legislative Delegation Office Fund. This legislative fund has specific provisions for how its money is used: any surplus over $120,000 on April 10, 2014, is to be distributed to public school systems in the county for operational costs, including school security, based on student enrollment, with special provisions for the City of Gardendale School System's separation. Any remaining funds in this legislative office fund are to be used for the operation of a legislative office in Birmingham. The bill also introduces a new provision for a five-year pistol permit, setting its fee at $37.50 and stipulating that this fee will be distributed in the same proportions as the one-year permit fee. The changes outlined in this bill are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
