The bill amends the salary structure for the county revenue commissioner and the judge of probate in Randolph County, Alabama. Effective from the next term of office, the county revenue commissioner will receive an annual salary of $70,000, payable in equal bi-weekly installments. This salary will replace any other compensation previously provided by law and will be funded from the same sources as the current salary. Additionally, the revenue commissioner will be eligible for cost-of-living increases granted to other county officers.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 45-56-83 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to establish that, starting October 1, 2027, the judge of probate will also receive an annual salary of $70,000, with similar payment terms and conditions as the revenue commissioner. The previous legal language regarding the judge's compensation has been deleted, and the new provisions ensure that the judge will also be eligible for cost-of-living increases. All fees and commissions collected for the judge's office will now be directed to the county's general fund. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
