HB607 Alabama 2021 Session

Under existing law, the sheriff of a county may issue a permit authorizing a person to carry a pistol in a motor vehicle or concealed on or about his or her person. The term of a pistol permit is one to five years, and the cost of a pistol permit is established by local law

This bill would propose an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901 relating to Cullman County, to provide that the sheriff may not charge any fee to a resident of the county for issuance, renewal, or replacement of any pistol permit

The amendment would allow an applicant for a pistol permit, at time of application, to make a donation to the sheriff's office. The donations would be deposited into a discretionary fund for use by the sheriff for law enforcement purposes

The amendment would also provide that the Sheriff of Cullman County shall not be required to send any person any information relating to pistol permits or persons prohibited from possession of a firearm, with exceptions
