Summary

HB570 would set Pike County pistol permit fees at $20 per year or $100 for five years and create a dedicated Sheriff’s Fund for law enforcement, effective October 1, 2025.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends the Pike County pistol permit fee schedule to specify $20 per year or $100 for five years for permits to carry a pistol in a vehicle or concealed on a person. It requires the sheriff to collect these fees, with $10 of each fee going to the county treasury and the remaining $10 deposited into a new Sheriff’s Fund in a Pike County bank. The Sheriff’s Fund would be used exclusively for law enforcement and the sheriff’s office operations, and its creation would not replace other income or reimbursements for the sheriff. The act becomes effective on October 1, 2025.
