Title

Calhoun County, authorizes the county commission to increase the compensation of the board of registrars

Summary

Calhoun County is authorized to pay board of registrars an extra $15 per day for attendance, with the county commission able to raise that amount by resolution, effective October 1, 2025.

What This Bill Does

The bill amends Section 45-8-110 to require Calhoun County to pay each board of registrars member an additional $15 for each day they attend board business, paid from the county general fund in addition to any other pay. The County Commission can increase this daily amount by resolution. If increasing the pay would violate the Alabama Constitution or other law for an incumbent, the increase is paid as an expense allowance until the next term, at which point the amount is included in the officeholder's compensation and the expense allowance is voided.

Who It Affects

• Board of Registrars members in Calhoun County receive an additional daily compensation for attending meetings and conducting business.
• Calhoun County Commission has authority to pay and to potentially raise this compensation by resolution, funded from the county general fund.
• Incumbent office holders could experience a temporary expense allowance if the increase would violate the Constitution or other law, with the allowance then folded into compensation at the start of the next term.

Key Provisions

• The Calhoun County Commission, by resolution, may increase the additional compensation authorized in the first provision.
• If implementing the increase would violate the Alabama Constitution or other law for an incumbent, the increase is paid as an expense allowance until the next term, when it becomes part of the officeholder's compensation and the expense allowance is voided.
• Effective October 1, 2025.
