The bill amends existing legislation regarding the position of the license commissioner in Calhoun County, specifically updating the terms of office and compensation structure. It removes the previous stipulation that the current license commissioner would continue in office until a successor is elected in 1980, and instead establishes that the term of office will be six years starting from January 1981, with elections held every six years thereafter. The bill also introduces new provisions for election notice, candidate qualification, and the certification of election results by the judge of probate.

In terms of compensation, the bill sets the annual salary for the license commissioner at $22,500, effective from January 1981, and outlines an additional expense allowance of 12.5% of the commissioner's salary starting July 1, 2024. This expense allowance will be paid monthly from the county's general fund and is in addition to the commissioner's salary. Furthermore, beginning with the term after July 1, 2024, the commissioner's salary will increase to 112.5% of the salary on June 1, 2024, while the expense allowance will be voided. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
