Calhoun County adopts local oversight for halfway houses under Alabama Act 2025-109
Summary
The Commission unanimously adopted a resolution to locally regulate, license and oversee halfway houses, sober-living facilities and recovery residences pursuant to Alabama Act 2025-109; the resolution was approved Feb. 12, 2026, and staff will implement the new local requirements.
Calhoun County Commissioners on Feb. 12, 2026, adopted a resolution implementing local regulation, licensing and oversight of halfway houses, sober-living facilities and recovery residences pursuant to Alabama Act 2025-109.
Jonathan Gaddy introduced the resolution and stated it was presented under the authority of the state act. Commissioner Shears moved to adopt the resolution; Commissioner Henderson seconded and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
The resolution is recorded in the meeting materials attached to the minutes; the transcript notes the action but does not provide the ordinance language or the implementation schedule. The minutes state the resolution is "attached," and no public testimony on the item is recorded in the minutes.
Because the resolution cites Alabama Act 2025-109, implementation will depend on the county’s adoption of licensing procedures and any requirements specified in the state law. The minutes do not specify fees, inspection schedules or enforcement timelines; those details were not provided in the meeting record and are therefore "not specified" in this report. The Commission did not record any dissent; the vote was unanimous.
