The Local Legislation Mobile County Committee (formerly the Mobile County Legislation Committee) is a standing committee of the Alabama State Senate. This committee was created in 2015 when the senate reorganized its local legislation committees.

Per the Senate Rules, committees of the Alabama State Senate are assigned by the Committee on Assignments, consisting of the president pro tempore, the presiding officer, the senate majority leader, and three additional members appointed by the president pro tempore. A majority of appointed members make up a committee's quorum. [1][2]
