The bill HB 476 has been amended to include a new structure for pistol permit fees in Covington County. It introduces a lifetime permit option, which costs $300 for individuals aged 19 to 59 and $150 for those aged 60 and older, alongside annual permits. This change matters as it provides more flexibility for gun owners by allowing them to obtain a permit that does not require annual renewal, potentially making it easier and more affordable for some residents.
