The bill authorizes the St. Clair County Commission to provide cost-of-living adjustments or other payments to former county officials, specifically former sheriffs and revenue commissioners serving in supernumerary offices. These payments will be made in the same manner as those provided to retirees under the State Employees' Retirement System, contingent upon approval by the county commission for any fiscal year in which such payments are made. The funding for these supernumerary retirement payments will come from the county's general fund.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the act will take effect on June 1, 2025. The new legal language includes the insertion of provisions that outline the conditions under which these payments can be made, while no deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
