What This Bill Does
If passed, it repeals Section 9.03 of Article IX of Act 404 of the 1953 Regular Session (now codified as Section 45-8A-23.262) which currently allows investigations by the city council or city manager. As a result, that investigative authority would be removed for Anniston’s city government. The act becomes law immediately after the Governor signs it.

Anniston city government (city council and city manager) would lose the statutory authority to conduct investigations.
Residents of Anniston would be affected by losing this formal investigative option into city government operations.

Key Provisions

Effective immediately following its passage and approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law.
