This bill establishes a new legal framework for the appointment and operation of reserve deputies by the Sheriff of 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 terms such as "Emergency Writ Condition" and "Reserve Deputy." The Sheriff is granted the authority to appoint reserve deputies who are certified and trained to assist in executing these writs, ensuring they are entitled to the same legal protections as other 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 reserve deputy 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 will supersede any conflicting provisions from Act 592 of the 1967 Regular Session and is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
