The bill introduces a new section, 13A-10-12.1, to the Code of Alabama 1975, which establishes the crime of tampering with a legislative record. Under this new provision, a person commits this crime if they are requested by a member of the Legislature to publish a legal notice regarding a proposed local law and, without the sponsoring legislator's permission, alters the notice with the intent to change the law's description. The unauthorized alteration must be made before the notice is advertised.

Violations of this new law are classified as a Class A misdemeanor, which carries specific criminal penalties. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text of the bill.
