SB205 Alabama 2022 Session
Bill Summary
Under existing law, the Secretary of State is required to transmit sets of the Code of Alabama 1975, as well as supplements or replacement volumes, to certain public officials, agencies, law libraries, and other specified public entities upon written request by the various recipients. Members of the Legislature are among the officials who receive sets of the Code of Alabama 1975, however, legislative members receive the sets automatically unless they specifically elect to decline receiving the books
This bill would provide that members of the Legislature no longer receive sets of the Code of Alabama 1975 automatically, but rather must request them from the Secretary of State in the same manner as other recipients
Under existing law, the Secretary of State must notify a new public official filling a vacated office, within 30 days of learning the vacancy was filled, that the new public official is eligible to receive a set of the Code of Alabama 1975
This bill would extend to 90 the number of days after learning of the filling of a vacancy that the Secretary of State must provide notice to the new public official
Relating to the Secretary of State; to amend Section 41-21-1, Code of Alabama 1975; to provide that in order for any member of the Legislature to receive a set of the Code of Alabama 1975, the member must make a request with the Secretary of State; and to provide further for the notice the Secretary of State provides certain officials eligible to receive a set of the Code of Alabama 1975.
