Summary

Session
Second Special Session 2015
Title
Tuscaloosa Co., gasoline tax, Tuscaloosa County Road Improvement Commission, effective date for creation, Act 2015-202, 2015 Reg. Sess., am'd.
Summary

SB26 speeds up the start of the Tuscaloosa County Road Improvement Commission by making its creation take effect immediately when the amendatory act becomes law.

What This Bill Does

It changes the timing so the section creating the Tuscaloosa County Road Improvement Commission takes effect immediately upon enactment of this amendatory act. The act still sets July 1, 2016 as the date for when Section 1 becomes effective, and the amendatory act itself becomes effective after it passes and is approved by the Governor. Overall, it moves up the start date for the Commission but does not otherwise change the content of the act.

Who It Affects
  • Tuscaloosa County government and officials, who would be able to establish and operate the Tuscaloosa County Road Improvement Commission sooner.
  • Residents and businesses in Tuscaloosa County, who may see road-improvement oversight begin earlier as a result.
Key Provisions
  • Section 2 of Act 2015-202 (creating the Tuscaloosa County Road Improvement Commission) shall become effective immediately upon enactment of this amendatory act.
  • Section 1 of Act 2015-202 shall become effective July 1, 2016.
  • This amendatory act shall become effective immediately following its passage and approval by the Governor, or otherwise becoming law.
