Baldwin County, ad valorem tax continued, constitutional amendment
HB 109 proposes a constitutional amendment to continue Baldwin County’s existing two-mill ad valorem tax (based on property value) for public hospital funding in 19 specific election precincts. The tax would be levied annually for 20 years starting October 2027, with proceeds exclusively used for hospital services in those precincts as defined in state law. This amendment requires voter approval in a constitutional election and would not change current tax rates or the designated hospital funding area.
