The bill proposes the abolition of the office of constable in Choctaw County, Alabama. Specifically, it states that the office, which is established in each precinct under Chapter 23, Title 36 of the Code of Alabama 1975, will be eliminated effective at the end of the term of any constable currently serving as of June 1, 2025. This change is formalized by the insertion of the phrase "the office of constable provided for in each precinct" and the deletion of the existing provisions that allow for the continuation of the office.
The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025, following the completion of the current constables' terms. The bill has passed both the House of Representatives and the Senate, with the House passing it on February 27, 2025, and the Senate passing it on April 9, 2025.
