The bill establishes a limitation of liability for county commissions in Alabama regarding the use of public funds. Specifically, it states that a county commission shall not be liable or involved in lawsuits that challenge the expenditure or use of public funds when a local law allows for such funds to be managed at the discretion of a single public official. Additionally, the bill stipulates that in cases where such lawsuits are filed, no damages or litigation costs can be recovered from the funds controlled by the county commission.

The new legal language inserted into the law clarifies the conditions under which county commissions are protected from liability, while no deletions from current law are noted in the text provided. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
