Ala. Code § 16-20-4: Notes Placed with Attorney General for Collection.

All notes for school lands held by or deposited with the State Superintendent of Education, if not paid within six months after maturity, must be placed with the Attorney General for collection; but this section shall not be so construed as to prevent the State Superintendent of Education from ordering an action on notes at any time after maturity, when so ordered by the sureties on the notes.
