This bill amends the Optional County Charter Law to require that the annual salaries of certain county officers and employees, specifically the county executive, supervisor, manager or board president, county commissioners, and department heads, be established by ordinance. The bill clarifies 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.

Additionally, the bill makes several technical amendments to the language of the law, including specifying that the bylaws adopted by the board must not conflict with any lawful ordinance or statute, and clarifying the definition of a resolution. These changes aim to streamline the governance process within county boards and ensure that salary determinations are made in a consistent and lawful manner. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
