HB 99 would add a defined Canoe Landmark District in Escambia County to the Alabama Constitution and ban annexation of district property by local law into any municipality, with a narrow exception for certain new municipalities.
Defines the Canoe Landmark District in Escambia County using specific land sections and boundaries. Prohibits any property within the Canoe Landmark District from being annexed into a municipality by local law. Provides an exception: if a municipality is incorporated after ratification and includes any part of the district, the prohibition does not apply to that municipality. Requires an election at the November 2020 general election to vote on the proposed constitutional amendment.
