The proposed amendment to Section 160 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 seeks to ensure that the compensation of district attorneys cannot be diminished during their term of office. The amendment modifies the existing language by replacing "such" with "the" and "Such" with "The," clarifying that district attorneys must be licensed to practice law in Alabama and reside in their respective circuits during their term. Additionally, it specifies that the compensation for district attorneys shall not be diminished while they are in office, a new provision that aims to protect their financial stability.

The bill outlines that an election to ratify this amendment will take place during the statewide primary election on May 26, 2026. The ballot will include a description of the amendment, stating its purpose to prevent any reduction in the compensation of district attorneys during their term. The amendment will be incorporated into the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 upon approval by a majority of the qualified electors voting on it.
