The bill proposes to adjust the municipal boundaries of the City of Gulf Shores in Baldwin County, Alabama, by incorporating ten specific parcels of land into the city's corporate limits. These parcels are identified by their property identification numbers and are described in detail, including their township, range, section, and recorded positions in official records. The descriptions provide precise measurements and landmarks to define the new boundaries, such as the starting point at the intersection of the west line of Fractional Section 23 and the north right-of-way of Dixie Graves Parkway for one of the parcels. The bill does not mention any insertions or deletions of legal language from current law.

The bill was passed in the House of Representatives with 21 yeas, 0 nays, and 77 abstentions on May 2, 2024.
