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

traffic." The effect of this Opinion of the Justices is to greatly limit situations in

45-35-20
Section 45-35-20 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds all of the following: (1) The
authority of the Legislature to enact local laws regulating the liquor traffic is preserved
in Section 104 of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, now appearing as Section 104 of the
Official Recompilation of the Constitution of Alabama of 1901, as amended. (2) Relying on
prior judicial opinions of the federal courts, it has been clearly established that reducing
the secondary effects associated with adult entertainment businesses serves and furthers a
substantial governmental interest, particularly when the serving of alcohol is involved. (3)
Any form of nudity and sexual conduct in establishments that serve alcohol or deal in alcoholic
beverages encourages the conduct of prostitution, attempted rape, rape, murder, and assaults
on police officers in and around an establishment dealing in or permitting the consumption
of alcoholic beverages, and that actual and simulated nudity and sexual conduct...
