This bill establishes a new salary structure for mayors of Class 1 municipalities in Alabama, setting their annual salary at an amount that is 10 percent higher than the salary of the highest-paid municipal employee under the jurisdiction of the county personnel board. The salary will remain fixed throughout the mayor's four-year term, regardless of any changes to the salary of the referenced municipal employee. Additionally, the bill stipulates that this salary will supersede any other expense allowances or compensation previously provided by law.

To implement these changes, the bill amends Section 11-43-80 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically stating that the mayor's salary will be determined as described, while also making conforming changes to the existing legal framework. Furthermore, the bill repeals several previous laws, including Act 84-618 from 1984, which provided for an expense allowance for the mayor, and other sections related to the compensation and salary increases for mayors of Class 1 municipalities. The act is set to take effect on November 11, 2025.
