The bill amends Section 45-8-110 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the compensation of the board of registrars in Calhoun County. It establishes that each member of the board will receive an additional compensation of fifteen dollars ($15) per day for attending board meetings, which will be paid by the Calhoun County Commission from the county general fund. The bill also allows the Calhoun County Commission to increase this additional compensation through a resolution.
Furthermore, the bill addresses potential constitutional issues by stating that if the new compensation increases the pay of an incumbent office holder in a way that is prohibited by the Alabama Constitution or other laws, the increase will be treated as an expense allowance until the next term of office. At that point, the expense allowance will be incorporated into the official compensation, and the allowance will be voided. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
