This bill relates to Macon County and specifically addresses the salary of the judge of probate. It states that effective October 1, 2023, the judge of probate's salary shall be $89,000 per year, payable in equal monthly installments from the county's general fund. This salary will replace any previous salary, expense allowance, or other compensation provided by law, except for the expense allowance provided to county officers.

The bill also states that starting October 1, 2024, the judge of probate's salary will be increased to include any cost-of-living raises or other uniform increases in compensation granted to all county employees. Additionally, the bill ratifies and confirms any prior payments made to the judge of probate by Macon County from January 15, 2019, until discontinued by the county, if those payments were incorrectly made through no fault of the judge of probate.

Finally, the bill repeals Section 45-44-84 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which relates to Macon County and the salary of the judge of probate. The bill will become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor or its otherwise becoming law.
