Bill Summary
Relating to Blount County; to provide for a new court cost to fund payments to employees of the sheriff's office who perform hazardous duties; and conditioning operation on voter approval at a referendum.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to establish a new court cost in Blount County, Alabama to fund hazardous duty pay for non-clerical employees of the Blount County Sheriff's Office, excluding the Sheriff. The court cost would be up to $25 for each civil case, misdemeanor and felony criminal case, and $10 for each small claims case filed. The fee cannot be waived unless all other fees and charges are also waived. The funds collected would be placed in a special "Sheriff's Department Hazardous Duty Fund" and used to provide equal hazardous duty payments to eligible sheriff's office employees, as determined by the Sheriff and County Commission. Importantly, the bill conditions the implementation of this new court cost on approval by a majority of Blount County voters in a referendum election.
