Prohibit Lowering District Attorney Compensation During Term of Office Amendment

Alabama Amendment X, officially the Prohibit Lowering District Attorney Compensation During Term of Office Amendment is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that will appear on the ballot in the U.S. state of Alabama on May 19, 2026, concurrent with the 2026 United States elections.

Background

[edit]

Alabama House Bill 354 was introduced by representative Jim Hill to the Alabama House of Representatives. The goal of the bill was to outlaw salary cuts for judges and district attorneys during their term of office. It passed the house by a vote of 101–0.[1] It passed the Alabama Senate by a vote of 29–1, and was signed by the Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey on May 6, 2025.[2][3]

The Constitution of Alabama did not have wording preventing salary cuts for those officials.[4]
