SB 12 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Community development district; 2025 act repealed, which authorized annexation of certain district by a wet municipality

SB 12 repeals Act 2025-294, which had allowed a specific community development district in a dry county to be annexed by a nearby wet municipality. This bill directly affects the designated community development district and the wet municipality that could have annexed it under the repealed law. The repeal removes the authorization for this specific annexation process but does not change the existing rule that allows dry counties to create districts where alcohol sales are permitted. The bill does not alter general alcohol sales rules in dry counties. The repeal is procedural and would take effect immediately upon passage.
