What’s in it

AI summary Right now, there are limits on how much certain county deputy officers can earn compared to their bosses. This change would allow these deputies, such as assistant county attorneys, to earn a salary up to the same amount as the sheriff or county attorney.1

Read the official explanation

Currently, the annual base salary of a county deputy sheriff, an assistant county attorney except in a county having a population of more than 200,000, and deputy officers of certain county offices shall not exceed percent of the annual base salary of the county sheriff, the county attorney, or the county principal officer, respectively. This bill provides that a county deputy sheriff, an assistant county attorney in any county, or a county deputy officer’s annual base salary shall be an amount not to exceed the annual base salary of the county sheriff, the county attorney, or the county principal officer, respectively.
