What This Bill Does
It changes the DeKalb County pistol permit fee: standard $25 and a reduced $15 fee. It also sets a special $1 fee for people aged 62 or older or active-duty first responders. All collected money goes into the sheriff's fund to be used for law enforcement purposes, and this does not replace other sheriff income. Any past pistol permit fees collected under prior rules will be returned to the sheriff to be deposited and used under this act.
