Baldwin County, ad valorem tax further provided for, constitutional amendment

HB 486 proposes a constitutional amendment to continue an existing two-mill property tax (2 mills per $1,000 of assessed value) in 19 specific Baldwin County election precincts for public hospital funding. The tax would be collected annually for 20 years starting October 1, 2027, exclusively for hospital purposes within those precincts as defined on January 1, 2025. Property owners in the designated precincts would be directly affected, as the tax would fund public hospitals without requiring new legislative action. Voter approval in those precincts is required for the amendment to take effect, per Alabama constitutional procedures. This is a procedural continuation of an existing tax, not a new policy.
