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 ensure that board members are appointed from each congressional district in the state, with any remaining members being appointed at-large. The bill also specifies that the board will consist of nine members, including seven residential home builders with at least five years of experience, one building official or inspector, and one consumer member from the general public.

Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding board member residency, changing the term "citizen" to "resident" of Alabama, and emphasizes the need for the board's membership to reflect the state's diversity in terms of race, gender, geography, and economic status. Starting June 1, 2025, as current board members' terms expire, new appointments will be made to ensure representation from each congressional district. The bill also outlines the process for filling vacancies and establishes initial terms for new appointees. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance the governance of the Home Builders Licensure Board while ensuring it remains responsive to the needs of Alabama's residential construction industry.
