Lamar County; authorize to employ part-time county prosecuting attorney as full-time elected official.
SB 2928 allows Lamar County's Board of Supervisors to convert the county's part-time prosecuting attorney position into a full-time elected role during the attorney's term. The attorney would receive additional compensation equal to 90% of the Lamar County and Youth Court Judge's annual salary, which would be the sole salary paid by the county. This change takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage and replaces any conflicting salary provisions under existing law. The bill directly affects Lamar County's prosecuting attorney and the county government's compensation structure.
