Revise county deputy sheriff compensation
This bill updates how deputy sheriffs in Montana are paid by changing the percentage of a sheriff's salary used to calculate their compensation. It directly affects deputy sheriffs across the state by establishing new pay ranges based on county population size, with smaller counties using higher percentages than larger ones. The law requires sheriffs to set deputy salaries within specific percentage ranges while also allowing adjustments based on rank within the office. Additionally, the bill clarifies that compensation refers only to base pay, excluding overtime and longevity payments when calculating these percentages.
