Bill Summary
Municipalities; annexation, all municipalities authorized to extend corporate limits by resolution and special election
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Alabama law to allow all municipalities, regardless of their population size, to extend their corporate limits, which is the process of annexation, through a resolution and a special election. Previously, only cities with 25,000 or more inhabitants could use this specific method to annex land. The bill removes this population restriction, making the annexation process by resolution and special election available to every city in Alabama. This change will become effective on June 1, 2026.
