Summary

Session: Regular Session 2020
Title: Greene Co., coroner, comp and expense allowance, co. comission authorized to provide, payment for equipment and supplies authorized, Sec. 45-32-60.01 repealed
Summary: The bill lets Greene County pay its coroner more, provide benefits and equipment, and repeals an old death certificate fee rule.
What This Bill Does
The Greene County Commission may add compensation, expense allowances, and possibly convert them to salary for the coroner, with salary increases aligning to other local elected officials and treated as future salary if they occur during a term. It may also provide the coroner with mileage or travel allowances, a county vehicle, equipment, supplies, and health insurance benefits, plus a per-death-certificate fee. All such compensation and allowances are paid from the county's General Fund, and accepting them replaces other allowed expenses. The act also repeals the existing Section 45-32-60.01 (death certificate fees and mileage allowances) effective October 1 after the act takes effect.
