Title

Talladega Co., sheriff, additional expense allowance and salary

Summary

The bill provides a $10,000 annual expense allowance for the Talladega County Sheriff now, and after the current sheriff’s term ends, increases the sheriff’s annual salary by $10,000, with the separate expense allowance then becoming void.

What This Bill Does

It creates a $10,000 yearly expense allowance for the Talladega County Sheriff paid from the county general fund starting after the act becomes law. It also sets that, beginning when the current sheriff’s term ends, the sheriff’s annual salary will rise by $10,000, paid from the general fund, and the existing $10,000 expense allowance would be repealed at that time. These changes affect the county’s budget and how the sheriff is compensated.

Who It Affects

• Talladega County Sheriff (current and future): receives a $10,000 expense allowance immediately; after the current term ends, receives a $10,000 salary increase; the separate allowance would no longer apply then.
• Talladega County general fund / county government: must fund the $10,000 annual expense allowance beginning after enactment and the $10,000 salary increase beginning after the incumbent sheriff’s term ends.

Key Provisions

• Section 1: The Sheriff shall receive an additional $10,000 per year expense allowance, payable from the county general fund, starting the first day of the first month after the act becomes law.
• Section 2: Beginning with the expiration of the incumbent sheriff’s term, the sheriff’s annual salary shall be increased by $10,000, payable from the general fund, and Section 1 shall become null and void at that time.
