| Description |
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, to authorize the Legislature to provide a retirement program for district attorneys and circuit clerks of the state who are first elected or appointed on or after Nov. 8, 2016.
As with every proposed constitutional amendment, state law requires the governor to publish the text of Statewide Amendment 1 prior to the election. Paid from the State General Fund, the exact proclamation expenses for Statewide Amendment 1 are unknown, but are estimated by the Alabama Legislative Fiscal Office to be $100,000.
While Statewide Amendment 1 does not directly affect taxes, the Alabama Legislative Fiscal Office and the Retirement Systems of Alabama predict that the amendment and the implementing legislation, if ratified, will decrease the state employer contribution rates for justices, judges, district attorneys, and clerks. If that occurs, affected public entities, which receive an appropriation of public funds (i.e., taxes), would realize a reduction in expenses due to the decrease in the contribution rates.
