HB 197 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Community development district; Act 2025-294, which authorized annexation of certain district by a wet municipality, repealed

HB 197 repeals Act 2025-294, which had allowed a specific community development district in a dry county to be annexed by a nearby municipality that permits alcohol sales. This change directly affects that district and the municipality, removing a legal pathway for the district to become part of an area where alcohol sales are already authorized. The bill does not alter general rules about alcohol sales in dry counties but eliminates this specific annexation exception. It is a procedural repeal with no new policy provisions.
