This bill amends the Tuscaloosa County Civil Service System by establishing a mandatory 12-month probationary period for all newly hired employees. Additionally, it grants the Tuscaloosa County Civil Service Board the authority to create rules for hiring additional employees who may work less than full-time, thereby allowing for more flexible staffing options within the county.
Furthermore, the bill repeals Section 9 of Act 49-357, which pertains to temporary employees, effectively eliminating the previous provisions related to this category of workers. The changes outlined in this act are set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
