The bill pertains to the amendment of Section 45-49-140.08 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which deals with the management of firefighting and emergency medical services districts in Mobile County, specifically the process for filling vacancies on the boards of trustees of these districts. The bill introduces a new procedure for appointing a successor trustee when a vacancy occurs due to death, resignation, or lack of qualified candidates. The existing trustees are given the authority to name a successor to complete the unexpired term, replacing the previous term "replacement" with "successor."

If the board of trustees fails to fill a vacancy within 60 days, the responsibility falls to the Mobile County Commission to appoint a successor trustee. Should the Mobile County Commission also fail to appoint a successor within 90 days of the vacancy occurring, the judge of probate is then required to call a special election to fill the vacancy. The bill is set to become effective on June 1, 2024.
