Baldwin County, constitutional amendment, Belforest Landmark District established
HB 508 proposes a constitutional amendment to define the Belforest Landmark District in Baldwin County, Alabama, covering specific parcels of land (detailed by township and range sections). It prohibits local governments from annexing any property within this district into a municipality through ordinary local law, except for cities formed after the amendment passes. The district is explicitly stated not to be a legal entity, meaning it cannot tax, zone, enforce police powers, sue, or adopt ordinances. This amendment would take effect if approved by Alabama voters in a statewide election.
