Summary

The purpose of this bill generally eliminates outmoded language concerning compensation of county elected officials. The bill repeals the requirement that the compensation of county court employees be in compliance with the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970. As of January 1, 2013 all prosecuting attorneys are required to be full-time while providing an exception for those currently part-time. The bill transfers some training program responsibilities and valuation classification of property from the State Tax Commissioner to the State Auditor. The bill also authorizes the State Auditor and State Tax Commissioner to establish training programs for certain employees. The bill removes the limitations on food, lodging, registration fees and mileage on authorized training. The bill eliminates the outdated property valuations used to determine the compensation of elected county officials. The bill further permits a county sheriff to turn over an impounded dog to the local humane society instead of killing it. Additionally, the bill eliminates references to a county position that no longer exists. The bill removes the limitation of the costs for the housing and feeding of prisoners in counties having a population of thirty thousand or less.
