HB 484 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Unauthorized entry of a critical infrastructure facility; reservoirs removed from list of facilities

HB 484 amends Alabama law to remove reservoirs defined as public waters from the list of critical infrastructure facilities. This means unauthorized entry into such reservoirs would no longer be considered a crime under the statute for unauthorized entry to critical infrastructure. The bill revises the definition of critical infrastructure facilities to explicitly exclude these reservoirs, which are already classified as public waters under state law (Section 9-11-80). This change directly affects individuals entering public water reservoirs and law enforcement in determining whether an entry violates the law.
