Overview
This bill changes how retirement contributions and compensation are handled for convicted public officials in Alabama. Specifically, it requires that retirement contributions forfeited due to a guilty plea or conviction for a crime related to their public service be used to pay restitution to the harmed entity. Additionally, public officials placed on leave with pay while under investigation or after conviction for a related felony must repay that compensation. The bill also updates existing code language to improve clarity and consistency.
