Issuance; fee; Sheriff's Special Fund.

In Colbert County, the fee for issuance of a permit to carry a pistol in a vehicle or concealed on or about the person shall be five dollars ($5) which shall be collected by the sheriff and deposited in any bank located in Colbert County selected by the sheriff, into a fund known as the Sheriff's Special Fund. Ninety percent of each fee collected shall be credited to the Sheriff's Special Fund. The fees may be drawn on and used at the sole discretion of the sheriff for law enforcement purposes and the operation of his or her office, including, but not limited to, the purchase of equipment, uniforms, materials, and supplies. Ten percent of each fee collected by the sheriff shall be paid into the general fund of the county and shall be used as other general fund monies are expended. The establishment of the Sheriff's Special Fund as provided for in this section and the use of the funds shall in no way diminish or otherwise affect any other appropriation or funds now or hereinafter provided for by law for the operation of the office of the sheriff.
