Etowah County, repeals local constitutional amendment prohibiting municipalities not located wholly within the boundaries of the county on January 1, 1986, from annexing territory without approval at an election

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill proposes a change to the Alabama Constitution that would remove a rule specific to Etowah County. Currently, voters in Etowah County must approve if any land in the county is annexed into a city that was not fully inside the county before January 1, 1986. If this bill passes, that requirement for voter approval would be removed.
