The bill amends Section 45-28-121 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically regarding the structure and membership of the personnel board in Etowah County. Key changes include the deletion of the previous appointment process and the introduction of new terms for board members. The personnel board will now consist of five members, with specific appointments made by the judge of probate, county commission, county tax assessor, and labor councils, each with defined expiration dates for their terms. The new appointments will include staggered terms, with some members serving until September 30, 2026, and others until September 30, 2030.

Additionally, the bill specifies that subsequent terms for board members will last four years, beginning on October 1. It also outlines the qualifications for board members, prohibiting those holding salaried public office or employment with the county from serving. Compensation for board members is established, with per diem rates for regular and special meetings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
