This bill amends sections 145.051, 145.09, and 145.10 of the Florida Statutes to revise the base salaries for local government officials, specifically the clerks of the circuit court, county comptrollers, supervisors of elections, and property appraisers. The new salary structure introduces increased base salaries for various population groups, with the minimum salary for the smallest population group rising from $21,250 to $26,250. Other population groups also see similar increases, with the maximum salary for the largest population group increasing from $36,475 to $41,475.

The bill outlines the new salary ranges for each population group, with specific amounts inserted for each category while deleting the previous lower amounts. For example, the salary for counties with populations between 50,000 and 99,999 will now be $29,400, up from $24,400. The changes aim to ensure that the compensation for these officials reflects the growing responsibilities and demands of their roles. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
