This bill amends Section 45-8-110 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to adjust the compensation structure for members of the board of registrars in Calhoun County. The new language specifies that the Calhoun County Commission will pay each board member an additional $15 per day for attendance at authorized meetings, which will be funded from the county general fund. This compensation is in addition to any other amounts provided by law. Furthermore, the bill allows the Calhoun County Commission to increase this additional compensation through a resolution.

Additionally, the bill addresses potential constitutional concerns regarding compensation increases for incumbent office holders. If the new compensation structure results in an increase 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 allowance will be incorporated into the official compensation, and the expense allowance will be voided. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
