The bill amends Sections 45-37-72.20 and 45-37-72.21 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to clarify the process for filling vacancies on the Jefferson County Commission. Key changes include the insertion of the term "primary" in the definitions of "first primary election" and "general election," which distinguishes these elections from runoff elections. The bill specifies that the first primary election must occur within 45 to 60 days after a vacancy arises, with a runoff primary election, if necessary, scheduled at least four weeks later. Additionally, the general election is to be held three to five weeks after the last primary election.

The bill also introduces a provision stating that if a vacancy occurs with fewer than six months remaining in the unexpired term, the position will remain vacant until the next scheduled countywide general election. Furthermore, it repeals Sections 45-37-72.22 and 45-37-72.23, which previously related to election dates. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025.
