HB459 would amend Alabama's constitution to put most Etowah County Sheriff's Office employees under the Sheriff’s Office Personnel Board, with several top positions exempt.
If approved, the change would take effect no later than six months after ratification. It moves oversight of most Etowah County sheriff's office staff to the Sheriff's Office Personnel Board, while six leadership roles—chief deputy, chief of detention, chief of administration, chief of investigation, director of communications, and food service manager—remain outside the board's authority. The amendment does not change the liability of employees. An election will be held to approve the amendment, with ballot language describing the change.
