The bill, designated as SB191, amends the Code of Alabama by adding a new section, ยง28-3-43.1, which authorizes the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to acquire and hold real property for the purpose of owning and operating warehouses. This new provision allows the board to obtain property through purchase, gift, or other lawful means, but explicitly excludes the use of eminent domain.

The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024, and represents a significant change in the board's operational capabilities, enabling it to manage its own storage facilities more effectively. There are no deletions from current law noted in this bill, as it introduces entirely new legal language.
