The proposed amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 seeks to establish specific qualifications and jurisdiction for the Judge of Probate in Morgan County. It mandates that the Judge of Probate must be an attorney licensed to practice law in Alabama, effective from the term of office following the amendment's ratification. Additionally, the amendment allows the Judge of Probate to exercise equity jurisdiction concurrently with the circuit court in cases originally filed in the Probate Court, provided the judge is licensed. This grants the Judge of Probate the same powers and authority as a circuit court judge in such cases, and the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure will apply, unless otherwise specified by law.

The amendment is self-executing, meaning it will take effect upon ratification, although the Legislature retains the option to enact further laws for its implementation. The amendment will be presented to voters in an election, with a ballot description outlining its purpose, which includes the requirement for the Judge of Probate to be a licensed attorney and the authorization to exercise concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court. The proposed amendment will be valid once it receives approval from a majority of the qualified electors voting on it.
