Title
Bullock Co., sheriff, salary and expense allowance, provided for
Summary

The bill adds a $12,000 annual expense allowance for the Bullock County Sheriff and, starting with the next term, increases the sheriff’s salary by $12,000 per year, after which the expense allowance ends.

What This Bill Does

It creates a $12,000 per year expense allowance for the Bullock County Sheriff, payable from the county's general fund and possibly countable toward retirement contributions. Beginning with the sheriff’s next term, the sheriff’s annual salary increases by $12,000 per year, also payable from the general fund. When the salary increase takes effect, the separate expense allowance provision would become void. The act becomes effective immediately after the governor signs it.

Who It Affects
  • The Sheriff of Bullock County — receives a new $12,000 annual expense allowance immediately, and later receives a $12,000 per year salary increase starting with the next term.
  • Bullock County (general fund/budget) — must fund both the new expense allowance and the salary increase from the county's general fund.
Key Provisions
  • Section 1: The Sheriff of Bullock County shall receive a $12,000 annual expense allowance, in addition to other pay, payable from the county general fund and eligible to be counted toward retirement contributions.
  • Section 2: Beginning with the next term of office, the sheriff's annual salary shall be increased by $12,000 per year, payable from the county general fund, and Section 1 shall become void at that time.
  • Section 3: The act becomes effective immediately following its passage and governor's approval.
