The bill amends several sections of the Code of Alabama 1975 regarding the office of constables. It establishes that there will be one constable for each election precinct in each county, who will serve a four-year term. However, it allows counties to abolish the office of constable through local legislation. Notably, the bill introduces new provisions that enable counties to revise the number of constables, the areas they represent, and the conditions that constitute a vacancy in the office of constable.

Additionally, the bill modifies the process for notifying the Governor when a vacancy occurs in the office of a constable, changing the language from "must" to "shall." It also clarifies that a constable vacates their office not only by removal from their election precinct but also as otherwise provided by law. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2026.
