The updated version of Bill HB 411 introduces significant changes regarding the compensation for the Coroner of Franklin County. Starting October 1, 2023, the coroner will receive an annual expense allowance of $9,700, but after the 2026 General Election, this allowance will be replaced by a fixed annual salary of $10,000. This shift from an expense allowance to a salary simplifies the payment structure and ensures that the coroner has a stable income moving forward.
