This 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 June 1, 2025. Additionally, it allows the Marengo County Commission to set a mileage allowance for both the coroner and a newly appointed deputy coroner, which will replace any previous allowances. The bill also authorizes the county commission to provide for the appointment of a deputy coroner, who will receive an expense allowance determined by the commission.

Furthermore, the bill includes provisions for 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, 2026. It stipulates that the allowances provided in this section will supersede any general law allowances, and by accepting these allowances, the coroner and deputy coroner waive any other expense or mileage allowances provided by general law.
