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 for the sheriff, revenue commissioner, and members of the county commission, replacing them with fixed annual salaries. The sheriff's total compensation will be set at $80,000 per year, the revenue commissioner's at $72,000, and each member of the county commission at $60,000. These changes will take effect on June 1, 2024, and the expense allowances will be voided with the next term of office for each official.

Additionally, the bill repeals Section 45-47-70, which previously governed expense allowances for members of the Marion County Commission. The amendments also specify that the new salaries will be in lieu of any other compensation, salary, or expense allowances previously provided by law. The bill aims to streamline the compensation process for these officials and ensure that their salaries are clearly defined and consistent moving forward.
