§45-25-232. Fee; sheriff's fund.

In DeKalb County, the fee for issuance of a permit to carry a pistol concealed on or about the person or in a vehicle as provided by Section 13-11-75, shall be twenty-five dollars ($25), which shall be collected by the sheriff of the county. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the fee for issuing the described pistol permit to a person aged 62 or older shall be one dollar ($1). Any and all monies collected as provided above shall be deposited in any bank within the county into a fund known as the sheriff's fund. The fund shall be drawn upon by the sheriff of the county, or his or her duly appointed agent, and shall be used exclusively for law enforcement purposes and in the discharge of the duties of the sheriffs office as the sheriff sees fit. The establishment of the sheriff's fund as provided in this section and the use of the funds shall in no way diminish or take the place of any other source of income established for the sheriff or for the operation of the office. All funds heretofore obtained from pistol permit fees and credited to any special fund or account in the county treasury under authority of any local or general law shall be returned to the sheriff of the county to be deposited and disbursed as provided above.
