The bill aims to extend the existence and operations of the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board until October 1, 2025, in accordance with the Alabama Sunset Law. It includes a recommendation from the sunset committee for statutory changes, specifically amending Section 34-21A-4 of the Code of Alabama 1975. The amendment allows the board's organizational meeting, which occurs within 30 days after the annual appointment of new members, to be considered a regular quarterly meeting, thereby providing more flexibility in scheduling.

Additionally, the bill preserves the current code sections related to the board and outlines the requirements for board meetings, including the need for a quorum and the process for calling regular and special meetings. It also stipulates that board members will receive compensation for their time and travel expenses, which will be funded through fees collected in the board fund. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2024.
