HB 656 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Water and sewer commissioner boards; local government approval to sell or develop certain real property required

This bill requires boards of water and sewer commissioners in counties containing a Class 2 municipality to obtain approval from all local governments with jurisdiction before selling or developing real property they own. The legislation mandates that these local governments must hold a public hearing and provide notice before granting or denying such approval. Additionally, the bill includes minor technical updates to modernize the language of the existing code without changing its core meaning. The law would take effect on October 1, 2026, if passed.
