Law Enforcement, County Sheriffs And Sheriffs' Departments Public Funds

Abstract

Requires a county to enter into a salary contract for the sheriff for compensation from the county general fund or any other public source, but that does not include compensation from the sheriff's retention of tax warrant collection fees. Provides that certain minimum salary amounts are a required provision of a sheriff's salary contract. Repeals provisions that allow a sheriff to retain tax warrant collection fees and instead requires the sheriff to deposit any tax warrant collection fees in the county general fund.
