Bill > SB299

This bill amends Section 45-3-60 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which pertains to the compensation of the Coroner of Barbour County. Specifically, it revises how the coroner is reimbursed for expenses. Previously, the coroner received a monthly expense allowance and a fixed mileage rate of fifty cents per mile. This bill removes the fixed mileage rate and instead allows the county commission to set a mileage reimbursement rate that matches the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) business use rate, which can fluctuate annually. The bill also clarifies that the coroner will receive an expense allowance, which the county commission will set by resolution, not to exceed $400 per month, in addition to any other compensation or expense allowances provided by law. These payments will be made from the county's general fund, and the changes will take effect on October 1, 2026.
