The bill establishes a new salary structure for the judge of probate in Jackson County, set to take effect on October 1, 2025. Under the new provisions, the judge will receive an annual salary of $132,000, which will be paid in installments from the county's general fund. This salary 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 salary increases, including cost-of-living adjustments, that are granted to all county employees after the effective date, overriding any conflicting provisions in existing law.

To implement this new compensation structure, 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. The act is designed to streamline the compensation process and ensure that the judge's salary aligns with that of other county employees moving forward.
