Morgan County - Subject to local approval, establishes that the County Attorney must be a licensed practicing attorney appointed or hired subject to the vote of the Morgan County Commission to serve a four-year term and does not need to be a resident of Morgan County to serve as County Attorney. - Amends Chapter 467 of the Private Acts of 1951; as amended.

SB 1463 changes how Morgan County selects its County Attorney. It requires the position to be filled by a licensed attorney appointed by the Morgan County Commission (after Commission approval), serving a four-year term. The bill removes the prior requirement that the County Attorney must be a Morgan County resident. This applies only to future appointments, leaving current officeholders unaffected. The law takes effect after Morgan County’s legislative body approves it with a two-thirds vote.
