SB 58 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Public Corruption; convicted public servant's retirement contributions forfeited to pay restitution; convicted public servant's compensation while on leave with pay forfeited

SB 58 requires public servants convicted of corruption offenses to forfeit their retirement contributions (including accrued benefits) held in Alabama's state retirement funds to cover court-ordered restitution payments. It also mandates that convicted officials forfeit any compensation received while on leave with pay. The bill directly affects state employees convicted of public corruption who have retirement benefits or accrued leave pay. Key provisions establish this forfeiture as a mandatory remedy, separate from other legal actions, to ensure restitution is paid directly to victims or the state. (Note: This bill is still pending committee review as of the provided dates.)
