The bill aims to adopt and incorporate various general and permanent laws enacted during the 2024 Regular Session into the Code of Alabama 1975. This includes the 2024 Cumulative Supplements to specific volumes of the code and the 2025 Replacement Volumes 16A, 18, and 18A. Additionally, it seeks to adopt Volume 22N (Revised), which pertains to local laws from Pickens through Russell Counties, and to make necessary corrections to existing laws, such as typographical and clerical errors. The bill specifies that the adoption constitutes a continuous systematic codification of the entire Code of Alabama 1975 and clarifies that it does not affect any statutes enacted during the 2025 session.
Key corrections made in the bill include replacing incorrect section references and fixing typographical errors in various sections of the code. For instance, it corrects "Section 22-21-21" to "Section 22-21-20" and addresses other discrepancies to ensure clarity and consistency. Furthermore, the bill states that the Code Publisher, Thomson Reuters, has fulfilled its responsibilities in editing and publishing the replacement volumes without making substantive changes. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
