Summary

The bill rewrites how Alabama’s highest court and its two appellate courts choose their judges, moving most elections from a statewide ballot to specific education‑district districts. It also makes the chief justice and the presiding judges of the appellate courts elected statewide beginning in 2028‑2030. The changes affect current and future justices, appellate judges, and the voters who will select them.
