MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP)
Former Gov. Albert Brewer is serving as chairman of a new commission suggesting revisions to some articles of Alabama's Constitution.
Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh got the Legislature to create the Constitutional Revision Commission, which held its first meeting Wednesday in Montgomery. In addition to choosing Brewer as chairman, commission members picked Republican state Rep. Paul DeMarco of Homewood to be vice chairman.
The commission will meet again Sept. 21 in Montgomery to consider changes to the article in the Constitution dealing with banking and corporations. The group will present its recommendations to the Legislature in February. The changes won't take effect unless approved by the Legislature and by voters in a statewide referendum.
Other articles will be taken up over the next three years.
