What This Bill Does
Amends Section 17-3-8 of the Alabama Code to change meeting day limits for county boards of registrars, with a Talladega County-specific increase. Talladega County: board members may meet up to 220 working days per fiscal year, plus up to 30 additional days per fiscal year if approved by the chair of the county commission; the extra days are paid from the county's funds. The act also clarifies timing references (each year means each fiscal year) and allows special registration sessions with notice requirements.

Who It Affects
Talladega County Board of Registrars — are allowed to meet up to 220 working days per fiscal year, with the option of up to 30 additional discretionary days funded by the county.
Chair of the Talladega County Commission — has the authority to approve the additional discretionary meeting days.

Key Provisions
Talladega County: maximum 220 working days per fiscal year for registrar board meetings, with up to 30 additional session days allowed at the chair's discretion; extra days paid from Talladega County funds.
All other counties remain governed by Section 17-3-8, with their own specified maximums; Talladega's provision adds to that section for this county.
The words 'each year' in local laws are interpreted as 'each fiscal year' for counting days.
Up to 25 days may be used for special registration sessions (out-of-courthouse, weekends, or evening sessions) with notice requirements by posting notices and advertising in local media.
Effective immediately upon governor's approval.
