The bill amends Section 45-10-201 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically for Cherokee County, by transferring the responsibilities of the license commissioner to the revenue commissioner. The existing language that referred to the "license commissioner" and "probate judge" has been updated, with the revenue commissioner now tasked with the duties previously held by the license commissioner. Additionally, the bill makes technical revisions to ensure the language aligns with current standards, including changing the frequency of compensation payments for clerks and assistants from "monthly" to "biweekly."

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the duties of the license commissioner will not include the renewal of driver licenses or the issuance or renewal of business, hunting, or fishing licenses. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, following its passage and approval by the Governor. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the administrative functions within Cherokee County by consolidating responsibilities under the revenue commissioner while ensuring that the office remains adequately supported and funded.
