The bill proposes the establishment of a new court cost in Blount County, Alabama, specifically aimed at funding hazardous duty payments for nonclerical employees of the sheriff's office, excluding the sheriff. Upon approval by a majority of the voting qualified electors in a referendum, the bill will impose a fee of $25 for each civil case filed (excluding small claims), $25 for all misdemeanor and felony criminal cases upon conviction, and $10 for cases filed in the small claims division. The collected fees will be deposited into a special fund designated as the Sheriff's Department Hazardous Duty Fund, which will be used exclusively for hazardous duty payments to eligible employees.

The implementation of this new court cost is contingent upon voter approval, with the election to be conducted in conjunction with the next regularly scheduled election in Blount County. The bill outlines that if the majority of votes are in favor, the provisions will take effect immediately; if not, the act will be repealed. Additionally, the bill includes a provision for the sheriff to certify employees engaged in hazardous duty and for the county commission to determine the frequency of hazardous duty payments after the initial disbursement.
