Bill Summary
Legislature, House or Senate, vacancies, after Oct 1 of third year, seat to remain vacant until next term, Sec. 46 repealed and replaced, const. amend.
AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the state of Alabama's constitution. The key provisions are:
1) Section 46 of the constitution, which deals with legislative vacancies, would be repealed and replaced.
2) If a vacancy occurs in the state legislature (either the House of Representatives or the Senate) on or after October 1 of the third year of a four-year term, the seat will remain vacant until a successor is elected at the next general election, rather than the governor issuing a writ of election to fill the vacancy.
3) This amendment must be approved by a majority of Alabama's qualified voters in order to take effect.
