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, if the sheriff is re-elected to a second successive term, they will receive a 7.5% salary increase. The bill also outlines salary increases for sheriffs serving non-successive terms and stipulates that the sheriff will not receive cost-of-living increases but will receive benefits provided to other county employees.

Furthermore, the bill includes specific provisions for the individual serving as sheriff on June 1, 2025, who will see an increase in salary to $170,000 and a subsequent 7.5% increase if re-elected to a second successive term. The previous legal language that stated the sheriff would receive an annual salary of $70,000 starting in January 1999 has been deleted, along with other provisions regarding monetary compensation. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
