Jefferson County, pistol permits and pistol permit fees further provided for
SB 251 adjusts fee distribution for pistol permits issued in Jefferson County. It sets a $7.50 annual fee for pistol permits (paid to the county treasurer) and a $37.50 fee for five-year permits, with specific allocations: $4.50 to the retirement system, $0.50 to the sheriff's fund, and $2.50 to the Jefferson County Legislative Delegation Office Fund. Funds in the legislative fund exceeding $120,000 trigger distribution to public schools based on student enrollment, including the Gardendale School System upon separation from Jefferson County schools. This bill directly affects Jefferson County's fiscal management of pistol permit fees, not permit eligibility or gun laws.
