The bill amends Section 3 of Act 79-524, which pertains to the personnel board for law enforcement employees in Shelby County, Alabama. It introduces new provisions regarding the compensation of the chief deputy sheriff, the operations manager, and up to two majors in the sheriff's department. Specifically, the bill clarifies that these positions will not be subject to the personnel board and that their compensation will be determined according to a pay and compensation plan established by the county commission, as approved by the sheriff. Additionally, the bill modifies the list of positions exempt from the act, explicitly including the chief deputy sheriff, the operations manager, and the majors in the sheriff's department.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Act 2009-336, which previously governed the compensation of the chief deputy sheriff. The changes aim to streamline the compensation process for key positions within the sheriff's department and ensure that their salaries align with the county's established compensation framework. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor.
