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 elected to non-successive terms. The previous salary of $70,000 and the stipulation that the sheriff would not receive any monetary compensation other than reimbursements for expenses have been deleted from the law.

Furthermore, the bill includes specific provisions for the individual serving as sheriff on June 1, 2025, ensuring they will receive an increase in salary to $170,000 and a subsequent 7.5% increase if re-elected to a second successive term. The act will take effect on June 1, 2025, and outlines that the sheriff will receive benefits provided to Madison County Commission employees but will not be eligible for cost-of-living increases. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the compensation structure for the sheriff's office in Madison County.
