The bill amends Sections 45-47-230 and 45-47-242.21 of the Code of Alabama 1975, focusing on the compensation structure for certain county officials in Marion County. It abolishes specific expense allowances previously granted to the sheriff, revenue commissioner, and members of the county commission. Notably, the bill deletes the provision that allowed the Sheriff of Marion County to receive a $500 monthly expense allowance and instead establishes a new compensation structure that includes an annual salary of $80,000 for the sheriff, $72,000 for the revenue commissioner, and $60,000 for each member of the county commission, effective from the next term of office.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 45-47-70, which pertains to expense allowances for the Marion County Commission members. The new compensation for these officials will be paid from the county general fund and is intended to streamline their salaries by eliminating additional expense allowances. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
