Title: Montgomery Co., sheriffs, compensation and expense allowance
Summary: HB366 would change Montgomery County Sheriff's pay by creating an annual expense allowance and then, starting with the next term, setting the sheriff's salary to $135,000 and ending the expense allowance.
What This Bill Does
The bill creates an annual expense allowance for the Montgomery County Sheriff to be paid from the county general fund and added to other pay (the text lists both $30,000 and $40,000 as the amount, causing ambiguity). It also states that beginning with the next term of office, the sheriff's annual salary will be $135,000 and the expense allowance from Section 1 will become void. The act also repeals conflicting laws and becomes effective after passage and governor approval.

Who It Affects
The Montgomery County Sheriff, who would receive the expense allowance (amount unclear in the text) and later have that allowance canceled in favor of a higher salary starting next term.
Montgomery County and its taxpayers, who would fund the sheriff's compensation from the general fund and whose retirement contributions may be affected by the treatment of the allowance.
