Counties have very limited powers of initiative and referendum for the establishment or repeal of certain ordinances and powers that are established in State Code 11-3A. These powers are restricted to issues of Public Health and Safety only to include:
| “ | (1) Abatement of weeds as a public nuisance as defined in Section 11-67-60. (2) Subject to the provisions of Section 6-5-127, control of animals and animal nuisances. |
” |
Municipalities[edit]
Any municipality with the Optional Form A of government is granted authority for Initiative and Referendum. However, there are no cities using this form of government so this provision is not applicable.[4]
Notably, Birmingham, which is the only city under the Mayor-Council form of government pursuant to the Mayor Council Act of 1955, has the powers of Initiative and Referendum, requiring signatures equaling 10 percent of qualified voters.[4]
