What This Bill Does

It provides an additional annual expense allowance of $8,000 for the Talladega County coroner to be paid monthly from the county's general fund. It then sets the coroner's annual salary at $20,000 starting when the incumbent's term expires, and this salary is the total compensation, replacing any other pay or allowances. It also repeals prior coroner compensation laws and carries an effective date of June 1, 2024.

Who It Affects

• Talladega County coroner will receive the new compensation package (expense allowance and later salary), replacing prior pay rules.
• Talladega County general fund will be responsible for paying the coroner's new expense allowance and salary.

Key Provisions

• Section 2, starting after the current term ends, sets the coroner's annual salary at $20,000, to be paid monthly from the general fund, and makes this the total compensation; Section 1 becomes void at that time.
