The proposed bill, HB268, seeks to amend the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 by establishing the "White House Fork Landmark District" in Baldwin County. This district is defined by specific tax parcel numbers and geographic coordinates, with the primary goal of protecting the area from municipal annexation. The bill prohibits the annexation of any property within the district's boundaries into any municipality, except for municipalities that are incorporated after the ratification of this amendment. Importantly, the amendment does not delete any existing legal language but adds new provisions to ensure the preservation of the district.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the White House Fork Landmark District will not be recognized as a legal entity and will not have powers typically associated with such entities, such as the authority to sue, tax, zone, or adopt regulations. The process for ratification includes holding an election in accordance with Alabama's election laws, allowing qualified voters to approve or reject the proposed amendment. The ballot will provide a description of the amendment, and it will take effect upon receiving a majority vote in favor from the electorate.
