Jefferson County; sheriff compensation revised

SB 262 increases the annual salary for Jefferson County's sheriff to $225,000 starting with the next term of office, replacing previous compensation levels. It temporarily sets a base salary of $160,000 and adds a $40,000 annual expense allowance (payable monthly from county funds) until the higher amount takes effect. The bill also requires the sheriff to receive cost-of-living adjustments matching those given to deputy sheriffs in Jefferson County. This legislation directly affects the Jefferson County sheriff's compensation and is specific to that county's payroll structure.
