HB 453 Alabama House · 2024 Regular Session

Crimes and offenses, further provides for the crime of unauthorized entry of a critical infrastructure

This bill amends the Crimes and Offenses code to clarify that the state, counties, and municipalities retain the right to take lawful actions on their rights-of-way, even during labor disputes. The specific change removes a restriction that previously might have prevented government entities from exercising these rights while negotiating with employees. By making this adjustment, the legislation ensures that public infrastructure management is not hindered by ongoing employment conflicts. The bill was enacted into law as 2024-395 after passing through the House of Representatives.
