The proposed bill seeks to amend the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 specifically for Dale County, allowing individuals who are not over the age of 75 to be elected or appointed as the judge of probate. This amendment modifies the existing provision in Section 155 of the Constitution, which currently imposes an age restriction on candidates for this position. The new legal language inserted into the bill states that a person may qualify for election or appointment to the office as long as they are not over the age of 75 at the time of qualifying.
To implement this amendment, an election will be held in accordance with the relevant sections of the Constitution and state election laws. The ballot will include a description of the proposed amendment, allowing voters to express their approval or disapproval. If the amendment is ratified by a majority of qualified electors, it will become part of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022. The bill also includes provisions for nonsubstantive revisions to ensure clarity and uniformity in the legal text.
