The bill aims to extend the existence of the Home Builders Licensure Board in Alabama until October 1, 2029, as recommended by the Sunset Committee. It amends Section 34-14A-3 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to introduce several modifications regarding the composition and appointment of board members. Notably, the bill stipulates that starting June 1, 2025, each board member must reside in and be appointed from each congressional district in the state, with any remaining members appointed from the state at-large. This change is intended to ensure a more representative board.
Additionally, the bill specifies that the board will consist of nine members, with a requirement that seven of them be residential home builders with at least five years of experience. It also includes provisions for the appointment process, stating that the appointing authorities must select members from a list provided by the Home Builders Association of Alabama. The language of the bill 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.
