Municipal elections, certain municipalities required to provide a copy of the new boundaries of its municipal voting districts to the Permanent Legislative Committee on Reapportionment following an adjustment of the boundaries

HB 565 requires Alabama municipalities that adjust their voting district boundaries to send a certified copy of the adjustment resolution and a map showing the new boundaries to the Permanent Legislative Committee on Reapportionment within 30 days. This applies to any municipality modifying ward or voting district lines through ordinance, which is already permitted under current law. The bill adds a new reporting requirement to the existing process of filing with the probate judge and publishing notice. It directly affects municipalities that redraw local voting districts, ensuring the legislative committee receives updated boundary data. The change takes effect October 1, 2025.
