This bill authorizes the Clarke County Commission in Alabama to pay for certain operational expenses of the coroner's office, in addition to the compensation already provided by law. Specifically, the commission is permitted to cover actual and necessary expenses, which include mileage reimbursement for personal vehicle use by the coroner or deputy coroner, as well as the provision of a county vehicle for office use. The bill stipulates that these payments are subject to regulation by the county commission.
Furthermore, the bill includes a retroactive provision, confirming and ratifying any payments made for the coroner's office expenses prior to the enactment of this legislation. This means that any previous actions taken by the county commission regarding these expenses will be recognized as valid. The act is designed to be remedial and curative, ensuring that the coroner's office can operate effectively and is supported financially. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
