Section 11-14-15 Failure to levy tax for erection or repair of county jail when necessary.
If any county commission fails to levy a tax to erect or repair a county jail when necessary,
the persons composing such county commission are severally guilty of a misdemeanor and must,
on conviction, be fined not less than $50.00, but any member thereof may exonerate himself
from such fine by proving that he was in favor of levying a tax sufficient for the erection
or repair of the county jail, but was overruled by his colleagues. (Code 1852, §1171; Code

45-11-247.07
Section 45-11-247.07 Legislative findings. Act 96-631 of the 1996 Regular Session (Acts 1996,
p. 1002) authorized the Chilton County Commission to levy an additional sales and use tax
for the purpose of financing a new county jail. When the bonds to finance the jail were retired,
Act 96-631 provided for the tax to be levied for one year thereafter with the revenue placed
in a trust account with the interest used to operate and maintain the new jail. The Legislature
finds that at the current time the interest from the account is not sufficient to maintain
the county jail in a prudent manner to keep the county jail functional, safe, and secure.
Therefor, the Legislature, at the request of the Chilton County Commission, finds that there
is a need to allow both principal and interest in the account to be used for the maintenance
and repair of the county jail as provided in this part. (Act 2019-161, §2.)...
