The two bills are sponsored by State Rep. Bill Lamb and State Sen. Gerald Allen, who are both Republicans from Tuscaloosa and whose districts include the City of Lake View. It would annex into the city limits certain plots of the Oakwood Trace Acres.

This is the first-ever bill for Lamb as a sole sponsor in the House, which comes during his very first regular legislative session after winning election in 2022.

Lamb told Patch that property owners petitioned the City of Lake View to be annexed into the city limit, which then issued a resolution to the state legislature requesting an expansion of the city's boundaries and corporate limits.

While both bills say there will be a map showing the proposed changes on file, which will be open to public in the probate offices of Tuscaloosa and Jefferson Counties, Lamb and Tuscaloosa County officials said the aforementioned map is not available as of the publication of this story.

If signed into law, the changes would go into effect on the first day of the third month after it gets approval from the governor.
