The bill amends Section 45-57-230 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to increase the annual salary of the Sheriff of Russell County from $120,000 to $135,000. This change is made pursuant to the updated constitutional provision, specifically Section 57-8.00 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended in 2022. The new salary will be paid in the same manner and at the same time as other county employees, and it will replace any other salary provisions established by general or local law.

The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, following its passage in the House on March 19, 2025, and in the Senate on April 10, 2025. The bill reflects a legislative decision to adjust the compensation for the sheriff to better align with current financial considerations and responsibilities.
