This bill pertains to Elmore County and amends the compensation for the judge of probate, sheriff, and revenue commissioner, while also repealing a section of the Code of Alabama 1975 related to the judge of probate's salary. The bill increases the base annual salary of the Judge of Probate of Elmore County from $98,000 to $120,000, payable in the same manner and at the same time as other county employees. It also allows the judge of probate to continue receiving cost-of-living or other salary increases granted to county employees or elected officials, as approved by the county commission.
For the Sheriff of Elmore County, the bill sets a new salary structure based on the number of full terms served: $120,000 for a sheriff, $130,000 after one full term, $140,000 after two full terms, and $150,000 after three or more full terms. These salaries supersede any other salary provided by law and are paid in the same manner as other county employees. The revenue commissioner's salary is increased to $120,000 per year, replacing the previous salary and expense allowance structure. The bill also repeals Section 45-26-81, which previously related to the judge of probate's salary. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2024.
