The bill establishes new compensation and operational guidelines for the Coroner of Franklin County, Alabama. It introduces an annual expense allowance of $9,700 for the coroner, which will be paid in monthly installments from the county's general fund. However, starting from the next term of office, this expense allowance will be replaced by a fixed annual salary of $10,000, which will also be disbursed in monthly installments. The coroner's salary may be adjusted in line with uniform increases granted to all county employees, and the coroner will have access to the county's health insurance and retirement plans.

Additionally, the bill grants the Franklin County Commission the authority to allocate funds for the coroner's salary, benefits, and operational expenses, including the provision of a vehicle for the coroner's use. It also allows the commission to authorize the appointment of deputy coroners, who can perform the coroner's duties in their absence and receive compensation. The bill repeals previous acts related to the coroner's compensation and operations, ensuring that the new provisions take effect on June 1, 2024.
