Four Alabama rivers — the Tennessee, Coosa, Cahawba, and Black Warrior — must stay free of tolls forever. This applies to U.S. government property, people serving the government, and U.S. citizens. Congress can still allow specific tolls by passing a law.
The Tennessee, Coosa, Cahawba, and Black Warrior Rivers, within the State of Alabama, must always be free of tolls.
This toll-free guarantee covers property belonging to the United States, everyone serving the United States, and all U.S. citizens.
The only exception: a toll that Congress specifically allows by passing an Act.
