This bill establishes a framework for the appointment and service of special reserve deputies in Jefferson County, specifically during "emergency writ conditions," defined as instances when over 250 writs have been issued but not executed. The Sheriff of Jefferson County is granted the authority to appoint these special reserve deputies to assist in executing writs related to the seizure or securing of real property. The bill outlines that these deputies will have the same legal protections as regular deputies and stipulates that property owners may pay them a fee for their services, capped at $250, which must be paid directly to the deputy without any funds coming from the county treasury.

Additionally, the bill sets forth qualifications for individuals to be appointed as special reserve deputies, including certification by the Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission and completion of specific training provided by the sheriff within the last three years. The sheriff is also tasked with establishing a training program and maintaining documentation of those who complete it. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025. Notably, the bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions regarding the appointment, training, and compensation of special reserve deputies.
