Scottsboro, municipal elections for Mayor and City Council and City Board of Education extended for one additional year based on staggered terms

HB 132 extends the terms of Scottsboro, Alabama's Mayor, City Council members, and School Board members by one year to align their election cycles. Specifically, officials whose terms were set to expire in 2026 or 2028 will now serve until 2027 or 2029, with elections for these positions scheduled for the fourth Tuesday in August every four years (for council/mayor) or six years (for School Board). The bill directly affects Scottsboro city officials and residents by changing the timing of local elections. It takes effect June 1, 2025, and applies only to Scottsboro in Jackson County.
