Title
Randolph County, sheriff, salary and additional expense allowance
Summary

HB732 gives Randolph County Sheriff a $500 monthly expense allowance and ties the Sheriff’s salary to the Circuit Clerk’s salary schedule, with specific timing and conditions for when each provision applies.

What This Bill Does

Starting Jan 1, 2013, the Sheriff will receive an additional $500 per month from the county general fund as an expense allowance. Beginning with the next term of office, the Sheriff’s salary will be set to the first step of the Circuit Clerk’s salary range, paid from the county general fund, and Section 1 becomes void when this takes effect. Newly elected or appointed sheriffs will start at Step 1 of the Circuit Clerk’s compensation schedule and will receive annual raises like the Circuit Clerk. The act becomes effective immediately after governor approval (or when it becomes law).

Who It Affects
  • Randolph County Sheriff (current and future) who will receive the $500 monthly expense allowance (subject to the voiding condition) and whose salary will be aligned to the Circuit Clerk’s salary schedule for the next term.
  • Randolph County's general fund and the Circuit Clerk's office, since funding and salary scheduling will be based on the Circuit Clerk’s pay scale and the general fund will cover the expenses and salaries.
Key Provisions
  • Section 1: Adds a $500 monthly expense allowance for the Randolph County Sheriff, payable from the county's general fund, starting January 1, 2013, in addition to all other compensation.
  • Section 2: From the next term of office, the Sheriff’s salary shall equal the first step of the Circuit Clerk’s salary range, payable from the county general fund; Section 1 becomes void when this takes effect; newly elected or appointed sheriffs start at Step 1 of the Circuit Clerk’s compensation schedule and receive annual raises per that schedule.
  • Section 3: The act becomes effective immediately after its passage and governor's approval, or otherwise when it becomes law.
