Bill > HB500

This bill revises the compensation structure for the Lawrence County Sheriff, establishing a specific salary and expense allowance schedule. Currently, the sheriff receives the salary they were earning on December 28, 2001. Beginning October 1, 2025, the sheriff will receive an expense allowance that will increase their total compensation to $95,000 per year, to be paid from the county general fund in equal installments. Then, starting January 19, 2026, the sheriff's base salary will be set at $95,000 per annum, which will replace all previous salary, expense allowance, and fee arrangements. After these changes, the sheriff will continue to be eligible for any cost-of-living increases granted to county employees, which will be paid according to existing county payment procedures. The bill is specific to Lawrence County and will take effect on October 1, 2025, providing a clear and structured approach to adjusting the sheriff's compensation.
