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 legislation introduces a significant change by establishing a new salary of $153,725 per year for the individual serving as judge of probate on June 1, 2025, which will take effect on October 1, 2025.

The bill includes the insertion of new legal language that specifies the new salary amount and the effective date for this change, while maintaining the existing provisions regarding the payment of the judge's compensation from the Montgomery County Commission's general fund. There are no deletions from the current law in this amendment. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2025, following its passage in the House of Representatives.
