Sheriffs on both sides of Mobile Bay say they are getting far less than they expected from a grant program meant to reimburse them for lost revenue arising from the repeal of a pistol permit law.
The new law, which makes pistol permits voluntary for people who carry concealed guns, contains a multimillion-dollar fund to make up for the loss of fees that sheriffs collect to process those permit applications. The idea was to keep the money flowing for three years for purposes like training and equipment, giving departments time to adjust and find other revenue sources.“My definition of reimburse is not same as theirs,” he told FOX10 News.
The Sheriff’s Office, Mack said, experienced a $55,000 decline during the last three months of 2022 compared to the same three months the previous year. He said the state sent $4,700. In response to a question from FOX10 News, an ADECA spokesman explained the process in general terms – the department sends reimbursements quarterly to county commissions, which then pass the funds to sheriff’s offices. But he did not explain how the funding formula works or why Mobile and Baldwin received so much less than they expected.
The database went live just as the pistol permit repeal was taking effect. Its creation came from a different law, but pro-repeal legislators pointed to it in an effort to assuage concerns that people who illegally possess guns would go free without the permit requirement in place. Mack said he believes not all of the background check information from all police agencies is getting into the database.
