Title

Board of Registrars; expense allowance limit removed, amount set by county commission

Summary

HB412 would remove the expense-allowance cap for Limestone County Board of Registrars and let the county commission set the amount by resolution, with a new framework taking effect October 1, 2026 and retroactive ratification of past payments dating to October 1, 2001.

What This Bill Does

This bill applies only to Limestone County. It removes the existing cap on the Limestone County Board of Registrars' additional expense allowance and allows the Limestone County Commission to decide the amount by resolution. The allowance remains in addition to other pay and is paid from the county general fund. It also retroactively validates actions and payments dating back to October 1, 2001, and, starting October 1, 2026, the new framework governs future allowances.

Who It Affects

• Limestone County Board of Registrars members: would receive an expense allowance with the amount set by the Limestone County Commission, replacing the prior fixed limit.
• Limestone County Commission and Limestone County government: would have the authority to determine and adjust the allowance amount by resolution, with payments coming from the county general fund.

Key Provisions

• Removes the fixed daily expense allowance cap for the Limestone County Board of Registrars and requires the county commission to set the amount by resolution.
• The act becomes effective October 1, 2026, superseding the previous provision; it also retroactively ratifies actions and payments from October 1, 2001 onward, and requires future allowances to be paid from the county general fund.
