(a)(1) The Legislature of Alabama is cognizant of Opinion of the Justices No. 376, 825 So. 2d 109 (Ala. 2002), which states on page 115 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."
