Title

24th Judicial Circuit ( Fayette Co., Lamar Co., Pickens Co.) presiding circuit judge, expense allowance repealed, Act 86-553, 1986 Reg. Sess., repealed

Summary

This bill repeals the monthly expense allowance for the presiding circuit judge in the 24th Judicial Circuit, which was paid from the district attorney's fund.

What This Bill Does

It repeals Act 86-553 from 1986 and its amendment Act 89-633 from 1989 that provided a monthly expense allowance to the presiding circuit judge in Fayette, Lamar, and Pickens Counties. If enacted, there would be no statutory monthly expense allowance for that position, and the district attorney's fund would no longer be used to pay it. The change takes effect immediately after the bill is signed by the governor (or otherwise becomes law).

Who It Affects

• Presiding circuit judge of the 24th Judicial Circuit (Fayette, Lamar, and Pickens Counties): would no longer receive the monthly expense allowance.
• District Attorney's Fund: would no longer pay the monthly expense allowance to support the presiding judge.
