The bill amends several sections of the Code of Alabama 1975 to adjust the salaries of key officials in Elmore County, specifically the judge of probate, sheriff, and revenue commissioner. The base annual salary for the Judge of Probate is increased from $98,000 to $120,000, with the new salary structure taking effect immediately and superseding any previous compensation. Additionally, the sheriff's salary is raised to $120,000, with provisions for higher salaries for individuals who have served multiple terms, reaching up to $150,000 for those who have served three or more full terms. The revenue commissioner's salary is also increased from $95,000 to $120,000, with the new salary structure effective immediately.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 45-26-81, which previously outlined the salary of the judge of probate, and establishes that all salaries will be paid in the same manner and at the same time as other county employees. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2024. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the compensation of these county officials to better reflect their roles and responsibilities.
