Section 45-13-20 Municipal option election for legalization of sale and distribution of alcoholic
beverages. (a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of "Opinion of the Justices
No. 376," issued April 9, 2002, which states that a local bill for Cherokee County "purporting
to allow by local law the creation of a traffic in alcohol that does not presently exist in
smaller municipalities in Cherokee County, does not fit within the ambit of the last paragraph
of Section 104 permitting the Legislature to pass local laws regulating or prohibiting such
traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly limit situations in
which local laws may be enacted regarding alcoholic beverages. This opinion was, in part,
based upon a determination that, "Generally, 'regulate' implies the exercise of control
over something that already exists." While respecting the constitutional authority granted
to the Alabama Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, this...
