AL HB400

Proposes an amendment to Section 160 of the Alabama Constitution of 2022 to allow district attorney salaries to be increased during their term of office.

Current constitutional provision prohibits increasing a district attorney's salary, fees, or other compensation during their term; this amendment removes that restriction while maintaining the prohibition on salary diminishment.

Election on the proposed amendment shall be held according to Sections 284 and 285 of the Alabama Constitution of 2022 and state election laws, with ballot language asking voters to approve allowing district attorney salary increases during their term.

Amendment becomes effective upon ratification by a majority of qualified electors voting on the measure.

Includes technical revisions to Section 160 language for style, uniformity, and corrections to grammatical and clerical errors, with updates to reflect current constitutional references.
