Perry County, coroner, expense allow and salary.

Summary

HB410 changes Perry County coroner pay by ending old expense allowances and establishing a fixed $12,000 annual compensation, with transitional rules for the current term.

What This Bill Does

Beginning June 1, 2024, the Perry County coroner will receive a $12,000 expense allowance per year from the county’s general fund, replacing other expense allowances or fees. The current term’s allowance is temporary and will be repealed at the end of that coroner’s term. Beginning with the next term, the coroner will receive a $12,000 annual salary as the sole compensation, paid from the county general fund. The bill also repeals existing laws that previously governed coroner expense allowances.

Who It Affects

• Perry County coroner: receives a $12,000 annual expense allowance during the current term and, starting with the next term, a $12,000 annual salary as the sole compensation.
• Perry County general fund/taxpayers: will fund the coroner’s compensation (expense allowance now and salary later) and the current repeal removes older rules governing coroner allowances.

Key Provisions
