Title

Baldwin Co., revenue commissioner, add'l expense allowance and salary

Summary

HB513 would grant Baldwin County's Revenue Commissioner a $20,000 annual expense allowance immediately and raise the annual salary by $20,000 per year after the current term ends, with the expense allowance repealed at that time.

What This Bill Does

If enacted, the Revenue Commissioner would receive a $20,000 per year expense allowance paid from the county general fund starting the first day after the act's effective date. When the incumbent's term ends, the annual salary would be increased by $20,000 per year, payable from the general fund, and at that moment the Section 1 expense allowance would be repealed. The act takes effect immediately after governor's approval or as otherwise provided by law.

Who It Affects

• Baldwin County Revenue Commissioner - gains a new $20,000 annual expense allowance immediately, and later a $20,000 per year salary increase starting after the current term ends.
• Baldwin County (general fund/taxpayers) - funds these additions from the county's general fund; the expense allowance is repealed when the salary increase takes effect, potentially impacting the county budget.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: Establishes a $20,000 annual expense allowance for the Baldwin County Revenue Commissioner, payable from the county general fund, starting the first day after the act's effective date.
• Section 2: Beginning with the expiration of the incumbent revenue commissioner’s term, increases the annual salary by $20,000 per year (payable from the general fund) and makes Section 1 null and void at that time; Section 3 provides for immediate effective date upon passage and governor's approval.
