The bill introduces a new section, 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 subsequently alter that notice without the sponsoring legislator's permission, with the intent to change the law's description. The unauthorized alteration must be advertised for it to constitute a violation.

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.
