Ala. Code § 11-11-7
No county shall, in any fiscal year during which it is within the classification of counties specified in Section 11-11-2, issue any warrants in anticipation of the county's share of the highway gasoline tax except under the authority of and pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, and this chapter shall control the issuance of all such warrants by any county subject to its provisions, to the exclusion of any other law, whether general, special or local.
The enactment of this chapter shall not be construed, however, to affect or in any manner limit the power of any county, while not within the classification of counties specified in Section 11-11-2 of this title, to issue warrants in anticipation of its share of the highway gasoline tax which such county may have under any other law.
