Summary

SB321 adds 2009 state and local laws into the Code of Alabama 1975 and makes a technical trust-code correction while defining custody and certification duties for the Secretary of State.

What This Bill Does

It would adopt and incorporate into the Code of Alabama 1975 the general and permanent laws enacted during the 2009 Regular Session and Act 2009-814 from the 2009 Special Session, along with the 2009 Cumulative Supplements and the 2009 Replacement Volume 15A, including local volumes such as 22E (Conecuh-Cullman Counties). It also makes a housekeeping correction to Section 19-3B-816 related to powers of trustees under the Alabama Uniform Trust Code. The act assigns duties to the Code Publisher and the Secretary of State for editing, custody, and certification of the volumes, and it becomes effective immediately upon the Governor's approval while clarifying that other 2009 Special Session or 2010 statutes are not affected.

Who It Affects

• Secretary of State — will custody the 2009 cumulative supplements, replacement volume, and initial volume and may certify portions upon proper request and fee.
• Code Publisher (West Group) — responsible for editing/publishing the 2009 Replacement Volume 15A and ensuring the codification is completed according to the act, with certification.
• Local governments in Conecuh and Cullman counties (and other counties covered by local volumes) — their local laws will be adopted into the Code and become part of Alabama law.
• Trustees and users of the Alabama Uniform Trust Code — affected by the technical correction to Section 19-3B-816 clarifying duties related to payments.

Key Provisions

• Adopt and incorporate into the Code of Alabama 1975 all 2009 state laws (Regular Session, Act 2009-814), as contained in the 2009 Cumulative Supplements and 2009 Replacement Volume 15A, plus local volumes (including 22E Conecuh-Cullman Counties) and related local supplements, creating a continuous codification of the entire Code.
• Make a technical correction to Section 19-3B-816 to adjust hierarchy and internal references, and assign duties to the Code Publisher and the Secretary of State for custody and certification of the volumes, with immediate effectiveness and a statement that other 2009 Special Session and 2010 statutes are not affected.
