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 increase 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 individual serving as judge of probate on June 1, 2025, will receive a salary of $153,725 per year, replacing any previous salary arrangements. This amendment aims to provide a substantial increase in compensation for the judge of probate, reflecting the importance of the role within the county's judicial system. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
