The bill amends the qualifications for the Judge of Probate in Coffee County, Alabama. Specifically, it stipulates that any individual elected or appointed to this position after June 1, 2025, must be an attorney licensed to practice law in the state. This change aims to ensure that the judge possesses the necessary legal expertise to effectively carry out the responsibilities of the role.
The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period before the new qualifications are enforced. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, indicating that this is a new requirement being added rather than a modification of existing qualifications.
