The bill establishes new compensation provisions for the Coroner of Perry County, effective June 1, 2024. It stipulates that the coroner will receive an annual expense allowance of $12,000, paid in monthly installments from the county's general fund. This allowance will replace any other expense allowances or fees currently provided to the coroner, making it the sole form of compensation. Additionally, starting with the next term of the coroner, the position will have a fixed salary of $12,000 per year, also payable in monthly installments, which will be the only compensation for the role.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 45-53-60 of the Code of Alabama 1975 and Act 91-361 from the 1991 Regular Session, which previously governed the expense allowances for the coroner. The intent of these changes is to streamline the compensation structure for the coroner and ensure clarity regarding the financial provisions associated with the position. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
