Title

Tallapoosa County; compensation of judge of probate and revenue commissioner revised

Summary

HB490 would revise Tallapoosa County salaries for the revenue commissioner and the judge of probate, establishing new base pay and temporary allowances with changes effective June 1, 2026.

What This Bill Does

Keeps the current base salaries for both the revenue commissioner and the judge of probate until the next term. Starting June 1, 2026, it adds an expense allowance so the revenue commissioner’s total pay reaches 100,000 per year, and similarly adds an allowance so the judge of probate’s total pay reaches 106,000 per year. Beginning with the next term, it sets fixed base salaries of 100,000 for the revenue commissioner and 106,000 for the judge of probate, with those earlier allowances removed and these salaries replacing any prior compensation laws. Payments are to come from the county general fund and follow the same funding sources as current compensation.

Who It Affects

• Revenue Commissioner of Tallapoosa County, who would have current base pay continued until the next term, then move to a fixed 100,000 per year base with the option of a temporary allowance before the next term, and finally to a 100,000 base without allowances starting the next term.
• Judge of Probate of Tallapoosa County, who would have current base pay continued until the next term, then receive a temporary allowance to reach 106,000 per year, and then move to a fixed 106,000 per year base starting the next term.
