Chambers County; ad valorem fire protection tax levied, opt-out for certain areas of county provided; constitutional amendment

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to allow Chambers County, Alabama to collect a two-mill property tax specifically to fund volunteer fire departments. Property owners in areas served by paid municipal fire departments can opt out of the tax if their local government chooses to do so. The collected funds would be distributed to volunteer fire associations based on the area they serve and can only be used for equipment, supplies, and operational costs, not for paying salaries or administrative expenses. The amendment would be voted on by voters in a statewide election scheduled for November 2026.
