HB 636 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Washington County, compensation of circuit clerk further provided for

This bill from Washington County amends a 1984 law to adjust the compensation for the circuit clerk. It specifically applies to the person holding the circuit clerk office on January 1, 2026, and repeals the compensation provision when that individual leaves office. The changes take effect on October 1, 2026, and include a severability clause to ensure remaining parts of the law stay in force if any section is declared invalid.
