AL SB255

Exempts tax-exempt nonprofit organizations (religious, educational, charitable, or other exempt entities under Section 40-8-1) from the requirement to prove payment of ad valorem taxes when filing a quiet title action to establish property ownership

Amends Sections 6-6-560 and 6-6-566 of the Code of Alabama 1975 governing quiet title claims

Current law requires plaintiffs in quiet title actions to demonstrate proof of tax payments for 5 or 10 consecutive years depending on the circumstances; this bill waives that requirement for qualifying nonprofits

Makes nonsubstantive technical revisions to modernize existing statutory language
