Rep. Cindy Myrex

Maddy summaryHB 435 allows Alabama's Department of Revenue to issue title certificates for manufactured homes manufactured in 1999 or earlier upon request. This directly affects owners of older manufactured homes who currently lack title documentation. The bill authorizes the Department of Revenue to process these title requests without requiring new inspections or fees beyond standard procedures. It takes effect on January 1, 2027, and does not change existing requirements for newer manufactured homes. The bill is procedural, focusing on expanding title issuance options for a specific age group of homes.

Maddy summaryHB 197 repeals Act 2025-294, which had allowed a specific community development district in a dry county to be annexed by a nearby municipality that permits alcohol sales. This change directly affects that district and the municipality, removing a legal pathway for the district to become part of an area where alcohol sales are already authorized. The bill does not alter general rules about alcohol sales in dry counties but eliminates this specific annexation exception. It is a procedural repeal with no new policy provisions.
