This bill pertains to Wilcox County and aims to ratify and confirm certain expense allowances that were mistakenly paid to the Tax Assessor and Tax Collector. Specifically, it states that any expense allowances paid under Act 2016-308, which were disbursed in error and not due to any fault of the officials involved, are to be considered lawful payments. This provision ensures that the tax assessor and tax collector are not penalized for these erroneous payments.
Additionally, the bill includes a repeal of Act 2016-308, effectively removing the previous law that governed these payments. The new legal language inserted into the current law confirms the validity of the erroneous payments, while the deletion of Act 2016-308 eliminates the prior framework. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
