The bill establishes new compensation structures 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 for expenses. Additionally, starting with the next term of the coroner, the position will also have a salary set at $12,000 per year, which will be the only salary or fees provided.

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 repeal of these sections is intended to streamline the compensation process and ensure that the coroner's financial remuneration is clearly defined under the new provisions. The act will officially take effect on June 1, 2024.
