HB213 abolishes the Mobile County Treasurer’s Office and transfers its duties, records, and staff to the Mobile County Commission.
The Treasurer’s Office will be abolished when the current term ends or if a vacancy occurs. The Mobile County Commission will take over all duties legally performed by the treasurer, and all records, assets, and property held in the treasurer’s name will be transferred to the Commission. Merit employees of the treasurer will become employees of the Commission. Depositories in place at the time of abolition will remain until the Commission decides to remove them. The Commission will audit the Treasurer’s accounts after abolition and will not assume liability for past errors. The bill aims to consolidate functions and preserve revenue by moving them to the Commission, and it repeals any laws that conflict with the new arrangement.
