The bill amends the qualifications for individuals seeking to be elected or appointed as Sheriff of Barbour County, effective June 1, 2025. It establishes several minimum requirements, including U.S. citizenship, residency in Barbour County for at least one year, voter registration in the county for at least one year, a minimum age of 25, and at least five years of prior full-time law enforcement experience. Additionally, candidates must not have felony convictions, must be certified and in good standing with the Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission, and must not have been separated from full-time active law enforcement for more than five consecutive years unless they have obtained recertification.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that any individual serving as Sheriff must complete a minimum of 12 hours of executive-level continuing education training from recognized organizations, such as the Alabama Sheriffs Association or the National Sheriffs' Association, starting from the same effective date. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to enhance the qualifications and training requirements for the position of Sheriff in Barbour County.
