This bill establishes the salary for the Judge of Probate of Macon County at $89,000 per year, effective October 1, 2023. The salary will be paid in equal monthly installments from the county's general fund and will replace any previous salary or compensation, except for the expense allowance provided to county officers under Act 2017-463. Additionally, starting October 1, 2024, the judge's salary will be adjusted to include any cost-of-living raises or uniform increases granted to all county employees. The bill also ratifies and confirms any prior payments made to the Judge of Probate from January 15, 2019, until the county discontinued them, provided these payments were made without fault of the judge.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 45-44-84 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which previously addressed the salary of the judge of probate in Macon County. This repeal is part of the effort to streamline and update the legal framework regarding the judge's compensation. The act will take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor or upon becoming law.
