Title
Cullman Co., coroner, compensation, Sec. 45-22-60 am'd.
Summary

HB484 updates Cullman County's coroner compensation by setting a new salary and benefits, plus office space, a county car, expense reimbursement, and the option to hire an assistant, effective January 16, 2023.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 45-22-60 to establish the coroner's annual salary (set at $35,000, paid from the county's general fund) and to make this the total compensation subject to future uniform pay increases. It allows the coroner to participate in the county health insurance plan on the same terms as other county employees. The county must provide office space and a county automobile, reimburse actual expenses for supplies used in duties, and allow the coroner to hire an assistant coroner with that salary paid out of the coroner's pay. The changes take effect for the coroner's term beginning January 16, 2023.

Who It Affects
  • Coroner of Cullman County: receives a defined annual salary, can participate in health insurance, gets office space and a county car, is reimbursed for supplies, and may hire an assistant coroner with the salary paid from the coroner's own compensation.
  • Cullman County government (County Commission): must provide the salary, benefits, office space, county car, and expense reimbursements, and handle the funding and any future uniform pay adjustments.
