This bill establishes a new legal framework for the appointment and operation of reserve deputies in Jefferson County, specifically for the execution of Writs of Possession and Writs of Execution during emergency conditions. It introduces a new Part 7 to Title 45, Chapter 37, Article 23 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which includes definitions for "Emergency Writ Condition," "Reserve Deputy," and the types of writs involved. The Jefferson County Sheriff is granted the authority to appoint reserve deputies who are certified and trained to assist in these legal actions, ensuring they are entitled to the same legal protections as other reserve deputies while performing their duties.

Additionally, the bill outlines the payment structure for reserve deputies, allowing property owners to pay a fee of up to $250 for the execution of writs, which is to be paid directly to the deputies without involving the county treasury. It mandates that reserve deputies undergo training by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department before executing writs, with a requirement for training renewal every three years. This act also supersedes a previous law from 1967 regarding the appointment of reserve deputy sheriffs in Jefferson County, ensuring that the new provisions take precedence. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
