Title
Tallapoosa Co., sheriff, additional expense allowance and salary
Summary

HB325 would provide the Tallapoosa County sheriff with a $1,000 monthly expense allowance and raise the sheriff's annual salary by $12,000 after the current term ends, with the monthly allowance ending when the salary increase begins.

What This Bill Does

It creates an additional $1,000 per month expense allowance for the Tallapoosa County Sheriff, to be paid from the county's general fund, starting the first day of the month after the act becomes law. It also increases the sheriff's annual salary by $12,000 per year, beginning when the incumbent sheriff's term ends, with payments made in equal monthly installments from the general fund. When the salary increase takes effect, the monthly expense allowance created in Section 1 becomes void. The act becomes effective immediately upon passage and governor approval, except as otherwise provided.

Who It Affects
  • Tallapoosa County Sheriff: will receive a new $1,000 monthly expense allowance after the act becomes law, and later a $12,000 per year salary increase after the current sheriff's term ends (the monthly allowance ends at that time).
  • Tallapoosa County (general fund): will be responsible for paying the new expense allowance and the increased salary.
Key Provisions
  • Section 1: Establishes a $1,000 per month additional expense allowance for the Tallapoosa County Sheriff, payable from the county's general fund, starting the first day of the month after the act becomes law.
  • Section 2: Increases the sheriff's annual salary by $12,000 per year beginning at the end of the incumbent sheriff's term, payable in equal monthly installments from the general fund; at that time, Section 1 becomes null and void.
  • Section 3: Makes the act effective immediately after passage and governor approval, except as otherwise provided in the act.
