The bill amends Section 6-6-332 of the Code of Alabama 1975 and adds Section 6-6-338, focusing on the eviction process. It introduces a requirement for eviction notices to include specific language informing tenants of their rights and obligations, including a clear eviction notice that outlines the timeline for moving out and the landlord's rights regarding abandoned property. The bill also updates the service of notice procedures, allowing for service by special process servers and clarifying the methods of posting and mailing notices to tenants.

Additionally, the bill establishes the duties of law enforcement officers during the execution of a writ of possession, including posting a warning notice and ensuring the peaceful removal of tenants and their belongings. It provides immunity from civil liability for officers and landlords executing the writ, stating they are not responsible for damages to the tenant's property during the process. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026.
