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 eligible for election or appointment as the judge of probate. This amendment modifies the existing provision in Section 155 of the Constitution, which likely imposes age restrictions on candidates for this position. The new legal language inserted into the bill states that a person may be elected or appointed to the Office of Judge of Probate if they meet the age requirement at the time of qualifying for election or appointment.

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. The amendment will take effect as part of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 upon receiving majority approval from the qualified electors. The bill was passed by the House on February 21, 2024, and subsequently passed by the Senate on April 25, 2024.
