Bill > HB132

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment for Baldwin County, Alabama that would require the probate judge to be a licensed attorney and expand the probate judge's jurisdiction. Specifically, it would allow the probate judge to exercise equity jurisdiction concurrently with the circuit court in cases originally filed in the probate court, giving the probate judge the same power and authority as a circuit court judge. The amendment would be self-executing, but the legislature may enact additional laws to implement it if needed. The bill also outlines the process for holding an election on the proposed amendment.
