HB31 would repeal all maximum age limits for elected or appointed officials (excluding judges) and prevent future age-based restrictions in Alabama's constitution or laws.
The bill proposes amending the Alabama Constitution to remove any existing maximum age restriction on the appointment, election, or service of elected or appointed officials. It would also bar the Legislature from enacting any law that imposes a maximum age limit for those officials. If approved, there would be no upper age cap for officials governed by the constitution or general law, and future age limits could not be created.
