HB500 sets a fixed $50,000 annual salary plus county benefits for the Madison County Coroner starting with the January 2023 term and repeals the old compensation statute.
It establishes a $50,000 yearly salary for the Madison County Coroner, to be paid from the county general fund, with health insurance and other benefits and uniform pay increases similar to county employees. It allows the coroner to be reimbursed for actual, verified expenses needed to run the office, up to $15,000 per year. It makes the coroner's total compensation equal to the salary plus benefits (and approved expenses) in lieu of other fees or compensation, and it repeals the previous coroner pay statute. The changes apply to the next coroner term beginning January 2023, with the repeal taking effect at the end of the current coroner’s term and the act becoming law per its specified timing.
