The bill amends Section 45-50-245.37 of the Code of Alabama 1975, specifically concerning Monroe County's special county privilege license tax. The key changes include the deletion of the expiration clause for the tax, which previously stated that the tax would expire when any indebtedness related to the construction of a new jail and related facilities was paid off. Instead, the bill stipulates that the tax will remain in effect until all indebtedness has been fully paid and retired.

Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the use of the tax proceeds. The net proceeds from the tax will now be deposited into the county general fund, designated for the continued maintenance, operation, or renovation of the Monroe County Detention Facility, as well as to support ambulance services or E911 in the county. This act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
