Summary

Session
Regular Session 2017
Title
Houston Co., revenue commissioner, add'l expense allowance and salary, Sec. 45-35-240 repealed
Summary

HB103 would change Houston County's revenue commissioner pay by introducing a $15,000 annual expense allowance and setting a fixed salary of $92,035.27, while repealing the old salary statute.

What This Bill Does

The bill applies only to Houston County. It adds a $15,000 annual expense allowance for the revenue commissioner, paid monthly and in addition to other compensation. It then sets the revenue commissioner’s salary at $92,035.27 starting with the next term of office, and makes the $15,000 allowance void; it also repeals the existing salary statute and allows for cost-of-living increases for the commissioner if granted to other officials.

Who It Affects
  • Houston County Revenue Commissioner — gets a new fixed salary of $92,035.27 starting next term and loses the separate $15,000 expense allowance; may still receive COLA increases if granted to other officials.
  • Houston County taxpayers and county budget — potential impact on overall compensation costs and budgeting due to the shift from an expense allowance plus a prior salary provision to a fixed salary.
Key Provisions
  • Establishes a $15,000 annual expense allowance for the Houston County Revenue Commissioner, payable monthly, in addition to all other compensation, starting the first day after the act's effective date.
  • Sets the Revenue Commissioner’s annual salary at $92,035.27 beginning with the next term of office, makes the expense allowance void, repeals Section 45-35-241, and states the salary is the total compensation (excluding reimbursable expenses) while preserving potential COLA increases granted to other officials.
