SB 568 - This act modifies provisions relating to salaries of county sheriffs and county commissioners. Upon majority approval of the salary commission, the salary paid to a presiding commissioner may be increased by 50%. The salary of sheriffs may be increased upon petition by the sheriff made to the salary commission or upon the initiative of a member of the salary commission, provided that the salary commission gives majority approval in either case. The increase in salary shall not exceed the pay plan offered to the highest paid lieutenant of the State Highway Patrol. In the event that the salary commission does not provide majority approval of a petition for salary increase, the sheriff may appeal to the circuit court which may, in its discretion, increase the salary in accordance with this act.
