The bill amends Section 45-51-231.01 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the compensation of the Sheriff of Montgomery County who has served two or more consecutive full terms. It increases the additional expense allowance from $20,000 to $70,000 per year, payable in monthly installments from the county's general fund. This allowance is in addition to other compensation and may be considered for retirement contributions. The provision for this expense allowance will be void at the end of the term of the current sheriff serving on August 1, 2023, or upon any vacancy in the office.
Furthermore, the bill raises the annual salary for sheriffs who have served two or more consecutive full terms from $175,000 to $225,000, effective at the beginning of the next term of office. This salary will also be paid from the general fund of the county. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the month following its passage.
