This bill proposes the repeal of Section 45-28-71 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which currently outlines an alternative process for filling vacancies in any Etowah County office that arise more than one year before the end of the term. The repeal means that the existing provisions for filling such vacancies will no longer be in effect, thereby reverting to previous procedures or standard practices for vacancy appointments in the county.

The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026, allowing for a transition period before the repeal is implemented. No new legal language is inserted into the current law, and the only change is the removal of the specified section regarding the alternative vacancy-filling process.
