AL SB417

Creates two alternative pathways for district attorneys to become supernumerary district attorneys: one requiring 25+ years of service and age 55 with 12+ years as district attorney, and another requiring 22+ years of service at any age with 8+ years as district attorney.

Allows credit toward service requirements for time served as county solicitor, county court judge, court of record judge, county elected official, or full-time deputy/assistant district attorney.

Applies only to persons serving as district attorney prior to November 8, 2016, and who did not elect to participate in the District Attorneys' Plan for Retirement.

Directs that upon a supernumerary district attorney's death while in office, the remainder of their fiscal year salary shall be deposited into a dedicated fund administered by the Alabama District Attorneys Association Executive Committee and Office of Prosecution Services Executive Director for extraordinary, emergency, and law enforcement purposes.

Becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and Governor approval.
