The proposed bill seeks to amend the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 to allow municipalities in Dale County to permit the limited operation of golf carts on designated municipal streets or public roads. The bill outlines specific requirements for municipalities, including conducting safety assessments before designating streets for golf cart use, ensuring that golf carts are equipped with necessary safety features (headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield), and requiring operators to possess a valid driver’s license and liability insurance. Municipalities are also authorized to issue permits for golf cart operation, enforce civil penalties for unauthorized use, and establish more restrictive ordinances if desired.

Key provisions of the bill include limitations on where golf carts can operate—specifically, they cannot be used on roads with speed limits exceeding 25 miles per hour and can only be operated between sunrise and sunset. The bill also stipulates that golf carts must have full use of a lane and cannot be operated in a manner that obstructs other vehicles. Additionally, municipalities may allow golf carts to be used for special events for limited periods, promoting civic engagement and economic development. The bill will be put to a vote in accordance with Alabama's election laws.
