This bill establishes a provision for annual longevity pay for the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff, Tax Assessor, and Tax Collector, aligning their compensation with that of all active full-time regular employees of Tuscaloosa County. The bill specifies that beginning June 1, 2026, these officials will receive longevity pay from the county general fund, similar to other county employees. The Tuscaloosa County Commission is tasked with determining both the amount of longevity pay and the payment date for these officials.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to ensure that the sheriff, tax assessor, and tax collector are entitled to longevity pay, thereby formalizing their eligibility and the process for disbursement. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026.
