The proposed bill seeks to amend Section 160 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, specifically to ensure that the compensation of district attorneys cannot be diminished during their term of office. The amendment introduces new language stating that the compensation "shall not be diminished during his or her official term," while also making several grammatical and stylistic changes to the existing text. For instance, the term "such" is replaced with "the," and "he" is changed to "he or she" to promote gender neutrality. Additionally, the amendment clarifies that district attorneys must reside in their respective circuits and be licensed to practice law in Alabama.

The bill outlines the process for the proposed amendment to be voted on during the statewide primary election scheduled for May 26, 2026. It mandates that the election officials provide a description of the amendment on the ballot, allowing voters to express their approval or disapproval. If the amendment receives majority support from the qualified electors, it will become part of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022. The bill also includes provisions for nonsubstantive revisions to ensure clarity and uniformity in the language used.
