The bill amends Section 45-51A-32.113 of the Code of Alabama 1975, establishing a countywide personnel system for Montgomery County and its municipalities with populations of 5,000 or more. It specifies that certain municipal employees will be classified as members of the exempt service of their respective municipalities. Key changes include the replacement of the term "elective" with "elected" when referring to officials, and "appointive" with "appointed." Additionally, the bill clarifies the status of various positions, including those of municipal recorders, prosecutors, and other appointed officials, while also detailing the conditions under which individuals may return to the competitive or classified service after being removed from exempt positions.

The bill also expands the list of exempt positions to include various municipal department heads and their assistants, while ensuring that all other positions not explicitly exempted will fall under the competitive or classified service. It emphasizes that the competitive service includes all offices and employments funded by the county or municipality, with the exception of those specifically enumerated as exempt. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
