This bill pertains to the compensation structure for the Sheriff of Talladega County, establishing new salary and expense allowances while repealing several previous acts related to the sheriff's compensation. Specifically, it stipulates that until January 18, 2027, the sheriff will maintain the same base annual salary as of May 31, 2025, and will receive an additional expense allowance of $15,200.32 per year, payable monthly from the county general fund. After January 18, 2027, the sheriff's base annual salary will increase to $112,000, and the previously mentioned salary and expense allowance will be voided.
Additionally, the bill repeals multiple prior acts that governed the compensation of the sheriff, including Act 188 from 1957 and several others up to Act 2021-466 from 2021. This repeal is intended to streamline the compensation framework for the sheriff and ensure that the new provisions are the sole governing terms for the sheriff's salary and allowances moving forward. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
