Title

Etowah Co., monies received by county commission from U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be paid into Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund, retroactive effect

Summary

HB684 requires Etowah County to continue depositing certain funds from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement into the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Fund and retroactively validates these payments back to 2004.

What This Bill Does

The county commission must keep sending money it receives from USCIS to the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Fund. These funds must be used in the same way as allowed by Act 87-644. The act is retroactive to October 1, 2004, so past payments and sheriff expenditures under this arrangement are validated. It also repeals any conflicting laws and keeps the rest of the law intact (severability).

Who It Affects

• Etowah County Commission – continues directing monies received from USCIS into the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Fund.
• Sheriff’s Office and the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Fund – funds continue to be used as defined by Act 87-644, with expenditures under this act retroactively validated.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: Specifies that monies received by the county from USCIS and paid to the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Fund will continue to be directed to the fund.
• Section 2: Requires that those monies be used in a manner consistent with Act 87-644.
• Section 3: Repeals any laws that conflict with this act.
• Section 4: Provisions are severable; if part is invalid, the rest remains in effect.
