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 modify the composition and appointment process of the board. The new provisions require that board members be appointed from each congressional district in the state, with any remaining members appointed at-large. Additionally, the bill specifies that the board will consist of nine members, including seven residential home builders, one building official or inspector, and one consumer member, all of whom must be residents of Alabama.

Key changes in the bill include the replacement of the term "citizen" with "resident" to describe board members, and the inclusion of a requirement for the board's membership to reflect the state's diversity in terms of race, gender, geography, and economic status. The bill also establishes a timeline for the transition to the new appointment structure, starting on June 1, 2025, as the terms of current members expire. Furthermore, it outlines the initial terms for new appointees and the process for filling vacancies.
