Title

Montgomery Co., county revenue commissioner authorized to participate in Employees' Retirement System in lieu of supernumerary program, const. amend.

Summary

A constitutional amendment would let the Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner join the Employees' Retirement System instead of the supernumerary program, with conditions.

What This Bill Does

It would allow the Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner to participate in the Employees' Retirement System on the same terms as other ERS participants. It would prevent any Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner from taking a supernumerary office after the amendment’s effective date. Those already entitled to participate in the supernumerary program on that date may continue in that program, while current officeholders may purchase ERS service credit for time served if they forgo the supernumerary office. The amendment does not apply to or include other roles like county commissioners, judges, district attorneys, legislators, school board members, or officials elected from a judicial circuit.

Who It Affects

• Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner (current and future) who may join ERS on the same terms as other ERS participants.
• Individuals who, on the effective date, are entitled to participate in the Montgomery County supernumerary program and may continue under that program.
• The current Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner holding office at ratification who may purchase ERS service credit for time served, provided they give up the supernumerary office.
• Other officials such as county commissioners, judges, district attorneys, legislators, school board members, or officials elected from a judicial circuit (these groups are not covered by this amendment).

Key Provisions

• The Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner may participate in the Employees' Retirement System of Alabama on the same terms as other ERS employees.
• No Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner may assume a supernumerary office after the amendment’s effective date.
