Introduced

SB 1128 - Under current law, the salary schedule for a county coroner in a noncharter county is set as a base schedule by the salary commission.

This act excludes the county coroner from the base schedule set by the salary commission and provides that the salary of a coroner in a noncharter county shall be set as a base schedule as provided by law subject to an increase up to $14,000 greater upon the majority approval of the county commission. Additionally, the annual compensation of the coroner shall not be less than the annual compensation of the preceding year except upon a 2/3 vote of all the members of the county commission.

Finally, this act repeals provisions relating to percentages of the maximum allowable salaries for noncharter county coroners and also repeals provisions relating to additional compensation for a county coroner when performing certain services.

This act is identical to HB 2438 (2022).
