Bill Summary
Law enforcement, authorizes Attorney General or Governor to appoint interim police chief subject to certain conditions
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Attorney General or Governor of Alabama to appoint an interim police chief to oversee a municipal police department if they determine there is a significant threat to public safety. The interim police chief would have authority over the department, independent of the mayor or city council. The interim chief would serve until the threat is deemed resolved, and their salary would be paid by the appointing authority. The municipality must maintain funding and operations for the police department during this time. The bill also allows the county sheriff to be appointed as the interim police chief, with additional compensation.
