This bill amends Section 45-42-110.01 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically for Limestone County, by removing the fixed limit on the additional expense allowance for members of the board of registrars. The current law specifies an allowance of fifteen dollars ($15) per day, which is being deleted. Instead, the bill allows the Limestone County Commission to establish the amount of the additional expense allowance through a resolution, providing flexibility for future adjustments. The county commission will have the authority to change or amend this allowance as needed.
Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that mandates the Limestone County Commission to set the expense allowance by resolution, which will supersede the previous fixed amount. This new provision is retroactive to October 1, 2001, confirming all actions and payments made to the board since that date. The act is set to become effective on October 1, 2026, and ensures that the expense allowance remains in addition to any other compensation or allowances provided by law, to be paid from the county general fund.
