The bill amends Section 45-45-230.01 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to establish new salary provisions for the Sheriff of Madison County. It specifies that any newly-elected sheriff will receive a base salary of $170,000 per year, effective from the first full pay period after the start of their term. Additionally, the bill introduces a 7.5% salary increase for sheriffs who are re-elected to successive terms, with similar provisions for those serving non-successive terms. The bill also outlines that the sheriff will receive benefits provided to Madison County Commission employees but will not be eligible for cost-of-living increases.

Furthermore, the bill includes specific provisions for the individual serving as sheriff on June 1, 2025, who will see an increase in salary from $154,086.40 to $170,000, along with a 7.5% increase for a second successive term, resulting in a salary of $182,750. The bill deletes previous language that restricted the sheriff's compensation to only the annual salary and reimbursements for itemized expenses. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
