This bill amends the Optional County Charter Law to require that the annual salaries of certain county officers and employees, including the county executive, supervisors, managers, board presidents, county commissioners, administrative officers, and department heads, be fixed by ordinance. The bill clarifies that the bylaws established by the county board must not conflict with any lawful ordinance or statute and specifies that a majority of the board members constitutes a quorum.

Additionally, the bill states that while an ordinance is necessary for setting these salaries, it is not required for compensation that is excluded from an officer's or employee's pensionable salary. This change aims to streamline the process of determining salaries while ensuring compliance with existing laws. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
