En lenguaje claro
This bill applies only to Fulton County. It sets the maximum annual salary the sheriff of Fulton County may be paid at $260,000, to be paid in equal installments from county funds. The bill states this salary applies notwithstanding any other local laws to the contrary, meaning it overrides earlier local Acts that may have set a different pay level for the office. The bill is short: one section sets the salary cap, and a second section repeals any conflicting laws. It does not address other county offices, staffing, or duties of the sheriff's office, and it does not specify a separate effective date beyond the standard process for local legislation becoming law.
