Bill > SB626

This bill modifies the salary structure for the Frederick County Sheriff, specifically changing how their compensation will be determined. For the calendar year 2025, the Sheriff will receive an annual salary of $187,313, and for 2026 and subsequent years, the salary will be set at 82.5% of the Frederick County State's Attorney's annual salary, including any authorized increments and adjustments. The bill stipulates that any salary changes during the Sheriff's current term of office will not apply until the beginning of the next term of office. This legislation is designed to provide a clear, structured approach to setting the Sheriff's compensation, tying it to the salary of another local government official. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, and importantly, it will not retroactively apply to a Sheriff already serving in a term of office that began before the effective date, ensuring fairness to the current office holder.
