The bill aims to extend the existence of the Home Builders Licensure Board in Alabama until October 1, 2029, while implementing several modifications to its structure and membership requirements. Specifically, it amends Section 34-14A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to establish that the board will consist of nine members, with appointments made by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House of Representatives. The bill mandates that starting June 1, 2025, each board member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district in Alabama, with any remaining members appointed from the state at-large.

Additionally, the bill specifies that seven members must be residential home builders with at least five years of experience, while one member must be a building official or inspector, and another must be a consumer member of the public. The language of the bill also replaces the term "citizen" with "resident" to clarify eligibility and emphasizes the need for the board's membership to reflect the state's diversity in terms of race, gender, geography, and economic status. The bill further outlines the initial terms of board members and the process for filling vacancies, ensuring continuity in the board's operations.
