Alabama Constitution Section 92 - Rules and regulations to ascertain value of property exempted from sale under legal process.
Alabama Constitution – Section 92 reads as follows:
"The legislature shall by law prescribe such rules and regulations as may be necessary to ascertain the value of such property as may be exempted from sale under legal process, and to secure the same to the claimant thereof."
Explanation:
Section 92 requires the Alabama Legislature to create laws that:
Establish clear procedures (rules and regulations) to determine the value of property that is exempt from being sold under legal process (like court judgments or debt collection).
Ensure that this exempted property is protected and secured for the person who claims the exemption.
Context:
In civil legal processes (like debt collection or bankruptcy), some types of property (such as a portion of a person’s home, wages, or personal belongings) are legally exempt—meaning they cannot be seized or sold to satisfy debts. This section ensures that:
There’s a systematic and fair method to evaluate what is exempt.
Claimants’ rights to their exempt property are legally protected.
