SB 67 Alabama Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Walker County; constitutional amendment, age to qualify for election or appointment as judge of probate increased to age 75

SB 67 proposes a constitutional amendment to raise the maximum age for qualifying as Walker County's judge of probate from the current limit to 75 years old at the time of election or appointment. This change would directly affect candidates and appointees seeking the probate judge position in Walker County, Alabama. The amendment requires voter approval through a statewide election under Alabama's constitutional process. If approved, it would become part of Alabama's constitution, modifying the age requirement specifically for Walker County's probate court.
