Amendment 1 amended the Alabama Constitution to allow the Alabama State Legislature to deny bail to defendants in certain cases. The measure was referred to as Aniah's Law.

The legislature also passed House Bill 130, which was set to take effect along with the amendment. HB 130 enumerates offenses for which bail may be denied by a court, including murder, kidnapping, rape, assault, and more. For individuals charged with listed offenses under the bill, bail can be denied "if the prosecuting attorney proves by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions of release will reasonably ensure the defendant's appearance in court or protect the safety of the community or any person."
