This bill establishes a new salary structure for the judge of probate in Jackson County, setting the annual salary at $132,000, effective October 1, 2025. This salary will be paid in installments from the county's general fund and will replace any previous compensation, expense allowances, or fees that the judge may have received prior to this date. Additionally, the judge will be eligible for uniform compensation increases, including cost-of-living adjustments, that are granted to all county employees after the effective date, overriding any conflicting provisions in existing law.

Furthermore, the bill repeals Sections 45-36-83 and 45-36-83.01 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which previously governed the compensation of the Jackson County Judge of Probate. This repeal is part of the effort to streamline and update the compensation framework for the position. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
