(a) In addition to the compensation now paid by the municipality of Fort Payne, DeKalb County, Alabama, to any person employed on a full-time basis as a law enforcement officer, the municipality shall pay one hundred fifty dollars ($150) per month to such person for enforcement of state laws in performance of regular duty as hazardous duty pay. Such additional compensation shall be paid from the same municipal fund, and in the same manner as other compensation is paid to police officers, to such persons deemed qualified for such compensation. Such compensation shall in no way affect or restrict the regular cost-of-living, merit, or longevity salary adjustments to which such persons may be entitled. Provided, however, that such qualified persons shall include fulltime jailers.
(b) No person who is in law enforcement and performs only ministerial or administrative functions, or who is not subject in his or her day-to-day duties to life-threatening nor potentially severely injurious situations, hazardous to health or life, shall be deemed qualified for the supplemental compensation of subsection (a).
(c) The provisions of this section are cumulative and shall not be construed to repeal or supersede any laws not directly inconsistent herewith.
