HB87 Alabama 2016 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, Chapter 44 of Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975, authorizes municipalities, under certain conditions, to operate a commission form of government composed of three commissioners elected at-large in the municipality. No municipalities are known to be operating under this form of municipal government. Also, under existing law, specific election procedures are provided for any municipality operating under this form of municipal government
This bill would repeal these provisions relating to the commission form of government. The bill would authorize any municipality, should one exist, operating under the commission form of municipal government on the effective date of this act to continue those operations under that form of government and come under the mayor-council form of government at the next election cycle
Relating to municipalities; to repeal Chapter 44 of Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975, providing for the commission form of municipal government, and Article 3 of Chapter 46 of Title 11, Code of Alabama 1975, providing special election procedures for the commission form of municipal government; and to provide certain savings provisions under certain conditions.
