This bill establishes new provisions for the office of constable in Mobile County, specifically stating that starting in 2029, there will be three constables elected for each Alabama House of Representatives district within the county. Each constable will serve a four-year term beginning on the first Monday after the second Tuesday following their election. Additionally, the bill mandates that each constable must be a qualified elector of the district they represent in order to be eligible for the position.
The bill also includes a contingency clause, stating that it will take effect on January 1, 2028, but only if a general law is enacted that allows for the alteration of the office of constable through local legislation. This introduces a new requirement for constables and outlines the structure of their election and terms, while also linking the bill's effectiveness to future legislative actions.
