What This Bill Does

If enacted, the Lee County Coroner would receive an annual vehicle allowance set by the Lee County Commission. The allowance would be paid in equal monthly installments from the county’s general fund and would replace any other expense allowance, but the coroner would still receive salary provided by law. The Lee County Commission would also provide adequate office space, furniture, computers, books, stationery, postage, and other supplies and services needed for the coroner’s duties. The act takes effect immediately after the Governor signs it into law or it otherwise becomes law.

Who It Affects

  • Lee County Commission and county government — responsible for setting and funding the vehicle allowance and for providing necessary office space and equipment.
