AL HB137

Amends Section 11-67-80 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to extend authority for declaring overgrown grass or weeds as public nuisances to Class 6 municipalities, matching powers previously held only by Class 7 municipalities.

Authorizes Class 6 and 7 municipality city councils to adopt custom procedures under ordinance to declare and abate overgrown grass or weeds as public nuisances, with alternatives to standard Article 2 and Article 4 procedures.

Allows municipalities to assess and collect abatement costs as weed liens following the procedures in Section 11-67-66, including against property purchased by the State of Alabama or at tax sales.

Ensures that weed lien assessments remain enforceable and are not discharged by subsequent property redemptions or state sales, binding future owners to the assessment.

Becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and gubernatorial approval or other enactment into law.
