Existing law allows a municipality to impose taxes or regulatory authority within its corporate limits or police jurisdiction.
This bill would propose a local constitutional amendment to the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, relating to Lawrence County, to prohibit any municipality located entirely outside of Lawrence County from imposing any municipal ordinance or regulation, including, but not limited to, any tax, zoning, planning, or sanitation regulations, and any inspection service in its police jurisdiction located in Lawrence County and to provide that a municipality prohibited from imposing any tax or regulation under this amendment shall not provide any regulatory function or police or fire protection services in its police jurisdiction located in Lawrence County, other than public safety mutual aid.
