Limestone County; sheriff's compensation further provided for

The bill also requires the sheriff to receive the same cost-of-living increases as other county employees and prohibits personal financial gain from prisoner food accounts.

No change in scope or applicability; the bill's subject matter is identical to the introduced version.

TECHNICAL

Removed introductory draft headers and page markers, replacing them with official 'Enrolled' status and certification blocks signed by the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate.

Updated the internal document identifier from 'I3YGFZZ-1' to 'I3YGFZZ-2' to reflect the final enrolled status.
