More detail
The law adopts the specified 2025 supplements and listed editorial additions and deletions into the Alabama code. This covers general and permanent state laws and local and permanent laws about counties enacted during the 2025 Regular Session. The law does not codify provisions adopted in violation of constitutional requirements or limits on enacting laws. It does not affect statutes enacted during any 2026 legislative session. The law took effect immediately.
The law directs the Secretary of State to keep the authenticated supplement and replacement volumes and certify requested parts for a fee. This applies to the authenticated 2025 Cumulative Supplements and replacement volumes. The volumes may not be removed from the Secretary of State’s office. The Secretary may certify requested parts under the office’s certificate and seal after the requester pays the fee set by law for similar services. The authenticated volumes are sent to the Secretary of State upon passage and approval of the act.
The law lists six corrections to the 2025 supplements. The corrections apply to six specified sections in the 2025 Cumulative Supplements. The listed corrections include updated citations and references, an age reference changed from 19 to 21, and wording fixes.
