SB422 sets Perry County sheriff pay and expense allowances, with specific amounts for new sheriffs and a special arrangement for long-serving sheriffs, subject to certain conditions.
The act applies only in Perry County and establishes a $65,000 annual salary plus up to a $10,000 expense allowance for sheriffs taking office after the act’s effective date, paid from the county’s general fund and in lieu of any other pay. For sheriffs who have served 30 or more years as of the act’s effective date, total compensation (salary plus expense) would be $75,000 per year, payable monthly; if a constitutional amendment about sheriff compensation is adopted, those long-serving sheriffs would receive a $75,000 annual salary and the earlier arrangement would be repealed. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval, and it repeals conflicting laws; the long-serving provisions may also end when a new sheriff takes office after the effective date.
