County Boards of Equalization; to revise the nomination procedures for boards of equalization in certain counties
This bill updates how members are selected for county boards of equalization in specific Alabama counties, primarily affecting those with large populations. It establishes a formal nomination process where various local government bodies submit names of qualified property owners, who are then reviewed and appointed by the State Commissioner of Revenue with the Governor's approval. The legislation also clarifies the qualifications for nominees, sets term limits for existing board members, and outlines procedures for appointing additional staff and a chairman in certain high-population counties.
