The bill amends Sections 45-25-60 and 45-25-230.01 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically addressing the expense allowances for the Coroner and Sheriff of DeKalb County. For the Coroner, the monthly expense allowance is increased from $600 to $2,000, effective June 1, 2024. The previous provision for an additional $400 monthly allowance has been deleted, consolidating the compensation into a single, higher amount.

For the Sheriff, the bill introduces a new annual expense allowance of $12,000, effective June 1, 2024, which will be in addition to all other compensation. This replaces the previous structure that included varying amounts over three years, culminating in a $15,000 allowance. Additionally, the annual salary for the Sheriff will also be increased by $12,000 upon the expiration of the current sheriff's term, with the previous provisions for additional allowances becoming null and void at that time.
