SB 206 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Legislature; codification of 2025 Regular Session acts and Code Commissioner technical revisions into Code of Alabama 1975

SB 206 is a procedural bill that updates Alabama's legal code by incorporating all general and permanent laws passed during the 2025 legislative session into the Code of Alabama 1975. It adopts the 2025 cumulative supplements for volumes 3-22A (general laws) and volumes 22B-22N (local laws), while making six minor technical corrections to existing code sections (e.g., fixing age references, typographical errors, or agency names). This update ensures the legal code remains current and organized, with no effect on laws passed in future sessions like 2026. The bill also specifies that the Secretary of State must maintain custody of the updated reference volumes.
