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" for officials, and "appointive" with "appointed" for officers. Additionally, the bill clarifies the exemptions from the personnel system, including various officials, board members, and employees of the education system, while also detailing the roles of specific municipal positions such as the chief of staff, chief financial officer, and others.

The bill also outlines the conditions under which individuals removed from exempt positions may return to the competitive or classified service if they were previously members of that service. It emphasizes that all other offices and positions not explicitly exempted will fall under the competitive or classified service, which includes all personnel compensated by the county or municipality. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
