The bill amends Section 45-46-60 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically for Marengo County, to increase the monthly expense allowance for the coroner from $400 to $1,000, effective October 1, 2024. Additionally, it allows the Marengo County Commission to set a mileage allowance for both the coroner and a newly appointed deputy coroner, which will also be effective from the same date. The bill removes the previous mileage allowance of $0.22 per mile and establishes that the new allowances will be paid from the county general fund.

Furthermore, the bill authorizes the county commission to increase the expense and mileage allowances for both the coroner and deputy coroner at the beginning of each fiscal year starting October 1, 2025. It clarifies that the allowances provided in this section will replace any previous allowances established by general law, and by accepting these allowances, the coroner and deputy coroner waive any other expense or mileage allowances provided by general law.
