Bill > HB748

This bill updates the compensation for the Carroll County Coroner by establishing a new annual base salary of $43,620, to be paid monthly from county funds, and providing an additional expense allowance of $3,100 per year, also payable monthly. The expense allowance will be distributed under conditions determined by the county's governing authority. The bill specifies that these compensation amounts are subject to annual adjustments as outlined in Georgia Code Section 36-5-28, which likely provides guidelines for government employee salary modifications. The new compensation structure will take effect on July 1, 2025, and the bill includes a standard clause repealing any existing laws that conflict with its provisions. This legislation updates a previous act from 1973 (as amended in 1997) that originally established the coroner's salary, reflecting potential changes in the cost of living and the responsibilities of the position.
