SB421 would authorize Alabama to create a retirement program for district attorneys and circuit clerks who first take office on or after November 8, 2016.
It proposes a constitutional amendment giving the legislature the power to establish a retirement program for the specified DAs and circuit clerks. The measure applies only to those first elected or appointed on or after 11/8/2016, not to current or earlier officials. If the amendment is approved, the legislature could pass laws to set up the retirement program and its details, such as benefits and funding. A statewide election would be held to approve or reject the amendment.
Assigned Act No. 2015-342.
