    • This Wednesday is deadline for local governments to submit resolution to intervene in SSUT lawsuit
    All 67 counties are urged to participate in ACCA’s statewide initiative to intervene in the lawsuit challenging Alabama’s Simplified Sellers Use Tax (SSUT) program — and to recruit their cities to participate, as well. To join, both counties and cities must adopt the appropriate resolution linked below and email an executed copy to registration@alabamacounties.org by close of business Wednesday, December 3. ACCA will handle one consolidated filing on behalf of all interested local governments, so no separate legal counsel will be needed. The aforementioned resources are linked here: Resolution for counties; Resolution for cities

    ACCA Legislative Conference just over 1 week away
    Are you registered for the 2025 ACCA Legislative Conference? Scheduled for December 10-11 at the Renaissance Shoals Hotel and Conference Center, the Association’s Annual Legislative Conference is one of the most important aspects of the legislative development process for Alabama counties, making it essential that all county officials and employees make plans to participate and learn more about the county issues expected for the 2026 Legislative Session. County leaders can register for the two-day event by turning to the County Family online community or by contacting the ACCA Events/Education Team.
