What’s in it
AI summary When deciding how much to pay county officers, compensation boards must now compare salaries to specific law enforcement positions. For police chiefs, the board must look at the average pay of chiefs in cities with populations similar to the county's population. If a county fails to follow these rules, the attorney general can take legal action to force them to comply.1

This bill relates to required considerations for determining the salary of county officers. The bill requires a county compensation board to use the statistical mean of certain law enforcement positions for comparison.
