Mobile County; temporary judges of probate, appointment amended

This bill amends Alabama law to update how temporary judges of probate are appointed in Mobile County. It allows the elected Judge of Probate to appoint temporary judges when the court faces heavy caseloads or complex cases, and it clarifies procedures for appointing temporary judges when the elected judge is unable to serve due to illness, absence, or disqualification. Temporary judges appointed for workload management can serve up to 90-day periods, with a maximum of 100 days per fiscal year, while those appointed to fill vacancies must be approved by the circuit court presiding judge. The bill also establishes that temporary judges receive 90 percent of the elected judge's salary, must post a $10,000 bond, and their decisions carry the same legal weight as those of the elected judge without creating liability for the elected judge or their bond.
