Etowah County; repeal of alternative method for filling vacancies of office

HB 330 repeals an existing Alabama law (Section 45-28-71) that provided a specific alternative process for filling vacancies in Etowah County offices. This bill directly affects Etowah County, as it removes the option to use this alternative method when a vacancy occurs more than one year before a term ends. The key provision is the simple repeal of the existing section, meaning vacancies will now follow standard vacancy procedures instead of the county's previous alternative method. This is a procedural change with no new policy requirements or direct impact on residents beyond standard office filling.
