Summary

HB 605 would grant Marshall County's sheriff an extra $2,500 per month from the county general fund, on top of current pay, with the extra discontinued if a future salary increase is enacted by law.

What This Bill Does

It creates a new monthly expense allowance of $2,500 for the Marshall County Sheriff to be paid from the county general fund, in addition to existing compensation. The allowance is temporary and would expire if the sheriff receives any additional salary increase by law. The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval (or when it otherwise becomes law).
