Bill Summary
Local commissions and authorities; prohibition on officers serving on commission or board of directors of authority removed
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Alabama law to remove a prohibition that prevented officers from serving on the commission or board of directors of certain local authorities, specifically impacting municipal planning commissions and county-created authorities. The changes adjust the composition and appointment processes for these bodies, removing language that barred individuals from holding municipal office while serving on a planning commission and also removing a restriction that prevented officers of a county or municipality from serving as directors of an authority. The bill also makes minor adjustments to terminology and clarifies appointment and term procedures for these positions, with an effective date of October 1, 2026.
