This bill seeks to repeal Act 2009-777, which is currently codified as Subpart 2, Sections 45-37-72.20 through 45-37-72.27 of Part 2 of Article 7 of Chapter 37 of Title 45 of the Code of Alabama 1975. Act 2009-777 outlines the specific procedures for filling vacancies on the Jefferson County Commission. By repealing this Act, the bill removes the unique provisions that were previously applied to Jefferson County regarding the filling of commission vacancies.

The bill also establishes that after June 1, 2024, any vacancies on the Jefferson County Commission will be filled according to the general law provided in Section 11-3-1 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which applies to the filling of vacancies in county commissions statewide. This change means that Jefferson County will follow the same procedures as other counties in Alabama for filling commission vacancies. The act is set to become effective on June 1, 2024.
