SB 250 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Jefferson County, sheriff compensation revised

SB 250 revises the compensation structure for the Jefferson County Sheriff in Alabama. It sets the sheriff's base salary at $160,000 annually (effective January 2019), adds a $40,000 annual expense allowance starting June 1, 2025, and ties future raises to deputy sheriff cost-of-living adjustments. The bill also increases the base salary to $248,000 effective January 18, 2027, replacing all prior compensation amounts. These changes directly affect the Jefferson County Sheriff and their retirement benefits, with all provisions taking effect on specific dates outlined in the bill.
