The bill amends Section 2 of Act 101 from the 1963 Regular Session, which pertains to the appointment and responsibilities of the county engineer in Escambia County. The key changes include the replacement of "Board of Revenue" with "Escambia County Commission" as the appointing authority for the county engineer. Additionally, the bill modifies the requirement for the county engineer to reside in Escambia County from a mandatory stipulation to a permissive one, allowing the engineer to choose whether to reside in the county during their term of employment.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the county engineer will serve at the pleasure of the Escambia County Commission and will have general supervision over road and bridge work in the county. The commission is responsible for setting the engineer's salary, which will be paid from the county's road and bridge funds. This act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
