The bill amends Section 2 of Act 101 from the 1963 Regular Session, which pertains to the appointment and residency requirements of the county engineer in Escambia County. The key changes include the replacement of the "Board of Revenue" with the "Escambia County Commission" as the appointing authority for the county engineer. Additionally, the bill modifies the residency requirement, allowing the county engineer to "may" reside in Escambia County instead of mandating that they "shall" reside there during their term of employment.

This legislation aims to provide more flexibility regarding the residency of the county engineer while maintaining the qualifications and supervisory responsibilities of the position. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
