The bill amends Section 45-51-84 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to adjust the compensation for the judge of probate in Montgomery County. Currently, the judge's annual salary is set at $88,000, effective since October 1, 1996, with provisions for annual increases based on the percentage received by full-time county employees, capped at $3,000 per fiscal year. The new legal language introduces a significant change, stating that beginning October 1, 2025, the judge of probate serving on June 1, 2025, will receive a new salary of $153,725 per year, replacing the previous compensation structure.

This amendment aims to provide a substantial increase in the judge's salary, reflecting a shift in compensation policy for this position. The bill is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, ensuring that the new salary will be in place for the individual serving as judge of probate at that time.
