Title

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

Summary

SB127 allows Calhoun County to pay the board of registrars an extra daily allowance and lets the county commission raise that amount by resolution, with the changes taking effect October 1, 2025.

What This Bill Does

It amends Section 45-8-110 to authorize Calhoun County to pay each board of registrars member an additional $15 per day for days they attend board business, paid from the county general fund, in addition to other compensation. The county commission can increase this amount by resolution. If increasing compensation for an incumbent would violate the Alabama Constitution or other law, the increase would be paid as an expense allowance until the next term, at which point it would be included in the office holder's compensation and the expense allowance would be voided. The act becomes effective October 1, 2025.

Who It Affects

• Calhoun County Board of Registrars members receive an additional $15 per day for days they attend board business, paid by the county from the general fund.
• Calhoun County Commission (and county government) gains authority to set and adjust the compensation amount by resolution and is responsible for funding the payments; there are transitional rules if changes would conflict with the constitution or law.

Key Provisions

• Adds an additional $15 per day for each day a member of the Calhoun County Board of Registrars attends board business, paid from the county general fund and in addition to other compensation.
• Allows the Calhoun County Commission, by resolution, to increase the additional compensation provided in the first provision.
• If implementing the change would increase compensation for an incumbent and conflict with the Alabama Constitution or other law, the increase is paid as an expense allowance until the next term, after which the amount is included in the official compensation and the expense allowance is voided.
• Effective date: October 1, 2025.
