Bill Summary
Altering the annual salary of the Sheriff of Frederick County to be $175,000 for calendar year 2027; and altering the annual salary of the Sheriff of Frederick County to be 82.5% of the State's Attorney for Frederick County's annual salary including any increments and salary adjustments authorized under certain provisions of law for calendar year 2028 and each subsequent calendar year.
AI Summary
This bill adjusts the annual salary of the Sheriff of Frederick County, establishing a fixed salary of $175,000 for the 2027 calendar year, and then for 2028 and all subsequent years, the Sheriff's salary will be set at 82.5% of the State's Attorney for Frederick County's annual salary, including any authorized increments and salary adjustments. Importantly, any changes to the State's Attorney's salary will not affect the current Sheriff's salary during their existing term, but will take effect at the start of their next term, and this provision also applies to individuals appointed or elected to fill an unexpired term, ensuring that a Sheriff whose term begins after the bill's effective date will not receive a salary increase based on a State's Attorney salary hike that was not already determined when the Sheriff's term began.
