The bill aims to extend the existence of the State Board of Podiatry in Alabama until October 1, 2029, as recommended by the Sunset Committee. It amends Section 34-24-250 of the Code of Alabama 1975, which outlines the composition and appointment process for the board. The amendment specifies that board members must be residents of Alabama and introduces a requirement that one member must be appointed from each congressional district in the state, starting from June 1, 2025.

Additionally, the bill removes the term "persons" and replaces it with "individuals" in the context of board membership. It also modifies the language regarding the board's diversity to ensure it reflects the racial, gender, geographic, rural, and economic diversity of Alabama. The bill emphasizes the importance of inclusive representation on the board and establishes a clear timeline for implementing these changes.
