HB 422 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Russell County; distribution of county share of state gasoline excise tax to municipalities in county, repealed

HB 422 proposes to repeal an existing law that mandates the distribution of certain funds within Russell County. Currently, a portion of the state gasoline tax revenue allocated to Russell County is shared with its incorporated municipalities. This bill would eliminate that requirement, meaning the county would no longer be legally obligated to distribute those specific gasoline tax funds to its cities and towns. This change directly affects the financial arrangements between Russell County and its municipalities regarding this particular revenue stream, effective October 1, 2025.
