Cullman County; county commission, meeting time amended

HB 522 changes Cullman County's commission meeting schedule and structure. It requires the county commission to hold at least one meeting each month after 6:00 p.m. to improve public access, while also restructuring the commission from three members to a chair plus four associate commissioners elected by district. The bill specifies that associate commissioners must live in their districts, with staggered terms (two-year initial terms for two districts), and the chair serves full-time while associate members serve part-time. This affects all Cullman County residents who attend meetings or vote for county commissioners, effective October 1, 2026.
