HB 335 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Jefferson County, pistol permits further provided for

HB 335 modifies Jefferson County's pistol permit fee structure under Alabama law. It sets a $7.50 annual fee and $37.50 five-year fee for pistol permits, with the county treasurer distributing these funds as follows: $4.50 annually to the retirement system, $0.50 to the Sheriff's Fund, and $2.50 to a new Jefferson County Legislative Delegation Office Fund. Funds in this office fund exceeding $120,000 trigger automatic distribution to Jefferson County public schools based on student enrollment, including Gardendale School System upon separation. The bill directly affects Jefferson County residents applying for pistol permits and county financial operations.
