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 subsequent terms and stipulates that if a sheriff is elected to a non-successive term, they will still receive the base salary of $170,000, with similar provisions for salary increases upon re-election.

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 bill removes previous language that restricted the sheriff's compensation to only the annual salary and itemized expense reimbursements. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
