Alabama Constitution Section 107 - Same Notice required by section 106 prerequisite to repeal or amendment.
Alabama Constitution – Section 107
Title: Same – Notice required by section 106 prerequisite to repeal or amendment.
Summary:
Section 107 of the Alabama Constitution states that any law that was originally passed with the notice required under Section 106 cannot be repealed or amended unless the same notice is given again.
🔍 What does this mean?
Section 106 requires that when a local or special law is proposed, public notice must be given in the affected area(s) before the bill is introduced in the legislature.
Section 107 builds on that by saying: if a law was passed under those notice rules, you can't change or repeal it without going through the same notice process again.
✅ Purpose:
To ensure transparency and public participation, especially when laws affecting only specific localities or individuals are changed. The community must be informed before changes are made, just like they were when the law was first passed.
